Correct me if I'm wrong: Sketch to mobile app is just what Photoshop did (does?) to Web design right? I mean, last time we used to draw websites in Photoshop, "slice" it and slap into HTML. We stop doing that because (I think) people just prefer to code html directly. What is the utility of Sketch then? Can't you just use UI designer from XCode/Android Studio? (Note: I'm talking from Android dev perspective)

It's a dedicated tool for designing layout. You're not going to do the same thing you used to do with photoshop and websites.

Not to mention that, at least on the Android side, their UI designer is absolutely atrocious. Like, to the point where a company like Google should be utterly mortified that they let something out that was that bad, and the developers of it probably should commit seppuku in order to preserve the honor of their families.
