How Sketch Took on Adobe

Figma launched in 2015 so they are relatively new. I don't know what their marketshare is but they definitely have 'mindhshare' among many designers (if that counts for something).

If you do an online search for "Sketch vs Figma" (or on YouTube) you'll find dozens of comparisons. Figma is browser-based which is a turn-off for many people (including me). However, sceptical reviewers have been won over by its features and the UI. So in the design tools space, they are definitely one to keep an eye on.

I've switched from Sketch to Figma, and I'm quite happy about it. I'm also using Affinity Designer, which is a fantastic complement to both.

But I'm odd—before Sketch, I used Antetype. I really miss the unique layout engine of that one, but the app fell into neglect and started lagging behind the competition in many aspects.

Edit: As it turns out, Antetype might be revived! [1]

What's wrong with it?
