Lots of excellent insights. Sketch has move powerful vector drawing tools than Figma - but it hardly matters. [1]

As you say, Sketch and Adobe XD are desktop apps for the sole designer. In Figma, no designer presence needed for a myriad of use cases and user types.

I can only assume in the future soon Adobe will change Figma sign-ups into Adobe ID accounts (like Adobe have done with Behance).

[1] The Sketch team wrote a blog post extolling the virtues of native apps - no doubt with a nod to their Figma cloud rival.

Yes, good point. Sketch has better vector tooling but also to your point, if that matters to you enough you’re going to likely just use Illustrator or one of the smaller offerings like Affinity for your work (or the majority of it)
