Sketch, Not Photoshop, Is the Favorite Tool for Interface Design

 

Survey reveals how the design community is moving away from Adobe's Photoshop to the newer rival, Sketch

The preliminary findings of a community survey of design-related tools shows how Photoshop is losing the fight with Sketch for mobile and interface design projects.

The survey was created and compiled by Khoi Vinh, former Design Director for The New York Times, now a freelance graphic designer, blogger, and well-known Twitter personality.

Only the preliminary results are available right now, with a full detailed analysis of all votes coming in the upcoming future.

These are as follows:

Primary tool for brainstorming/ideation - Pencil and paper

Primary tool for wireframing - Sketch

Primary tool for interface design - Sketch

Primary tool for prototyping - HTML/CSS

Primary tool for project management - Slack

Primary tool for version control/file management - Dropbox

Oh my! A survey aimed at the design community and none of Adobe's products don't even get a mention. This would have never happened five years ago, but times are changing.

Trends have been changing so visibly and aggressively, that if you've been following the design community, you could have guessed the results of this survey beforehand.

Irritation is high when it comes to any of Adobe's products lately, especially with Photoshop, lesser with Illustrator and After Effects.

An overbloated application that tries to do everything, the discontinuation of Fireworks, and the pricey Adobe CC have driven users away to other products, and currently Bohemian Coding's Sketch seems to be the main winner.
