    Pencil doesn't carry a good enough user experience to match with xd. It also doesn't seem to be well maintained

    It has most of the features found in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, XD and Indesign.. I believe it is for creating Graphics more than editing them... Each update comes with new Features
