> "it continues to be plagued by bugs and crashes in even mundane daily use"

Me and 5 of my friends who are also web/mobile designers moved to Sketch two years ago, during this two years I maybe had 2 or 3 crashes, and none of them affected my workflow because of the autosave feature of Sketch.

The videos he shows are examples of sketch's many micro usability problems (not so much crashes as frustrating glitches). I love Sketch, but it does have a lot of little issues.

I've been using Sketch on and off for about that long as well, and have probably only had that many crashes too. Non-crashing bugs, however, still abound: Even after installing the update just this evening, I ran into a new undo bug where an undo would jump back about ten or so actions, while redo would step through them one by one. And this is to say nothing of the perennial issues with object alignment, the inexplicable inability to move an object along an axis with the shift key, something I slogged through again this evening.

That said, most of these things can be worked around, and the benefits of Sketch are enough that a lot of designers can overlook them. Personally, though, I'm probably going to switch full-time to Affinity Designer once symbol support is released.

Agree, if it's not the pinwheel as mentioned, it's a roulette wheel that randomly chooses some point in your history to revert to. It absolutely boggles the mind that they don't acknowledge this. I specifically read these comments hoping someone else would confirm the undo issues to get their attention.

I actually own Designer (and Photo) but purchased Sketch to better integrate with some of our UX team workflows. Designer is stunning, rock solid, and I've never had a single crash or undo issue (or font rendering/scaling, or grouping, or or). Sadly no one I know uses it; it's all Sketch these days except for the Illustrator holdouts. I've asked a few of the prototyping tool folks like Framer to import the Designer file format like they do Sketch. I believe it's documented and would help encourage adoption...no news yet.

He's also using Windows. I find Sketch pretty stable on OSX

I was certain Sketch wasn't available on Windows.

Sketch is only available on OSx as far as I know
