Maybe for minimalistic UI design. But even there i would rather not want to work with a web tool (graphics is compute hungry).

For graphics design and artwork i‘d rather go with Affinity Designer.

My impression is that many/most UI graphics designers migrated to the web based Figma because it's a lot faster than the native Illustrator. A bunch of them went there via the mac-only Sketch. Shame on Adobe.

Affinity Designer (and Sketch) is indeed insanely fast compared to Illustrator, but it's also kind of isolated - the collab story is a lot stronger with Figma.
