Wasn't there OmniGraffle on the Mac even before Sketch? Seemed to me in the beginning that Sketch was an exact clone of OmniGraffle with a little nicer interface. Sketch evolved a lot from that point on.

Edit: OmniGraffle 1.0 launched 2001 [1], Sketch started 2008

OmniGraffle is for diagrams, general purpose vector drawing and UI design is not its forte. At best you do some prototype wireframing there.
Yeah, OmniGraffle is awesome for diagramming, but awkward even for low-fi wireframes.
Does anyone use OmniGraffle to make final designs? I thought it was more of an outlining tool
OmniGraffle is more wireframing, low-fi.
Omnigraffle is very bad for visual design
