    I think it's even better. I like the design, the features. It allows everything I need, and it's free.

    Works for windows and accepts all the libraries for sketch. Sketch resources are easy to find so you can make not only SVG sketches but also font files and Sprites

    Buggy, I get it's free and the developers have done an amazing job for free software but it really isn't good enough to replace sketch if you want to use it for a daily tool that your job depends on.

    If you your a product owner or an engineer and just want to get an idea put together it's fine. But it's not a UX designer's main tool solution.

    It's reeeeeally good. Not just another bloated svg editor, like Sketch. Use this one, ditch the rest.
