Anyone interested in the state of play of designer tools, here's some recent survey results

I don't necessarily trust the results but it might be useful for people looking to transition to design (or just looking to quickly mock something up outside of code)

Well, it's actually more of a full-on Adobe Illustrator replacement than just a mockup app.

Ah, so it is. I was going by the big screenshot with several pages of an iPhone app and the heading "Sketch is made for UX designers like you".

But it turns out if you hang around on the page longer, the header text cycles through other types of designers.

Thanks - I had less than a vague idea. Note to developers - there's so much going on and so little time to keep abreast of everything, please consider adding just a few words about what your product/framework does.

A $99 program.

Worth every penny.

Are you kidding? You could rent Adobe Illustrator for three months with that kind of money!

Seriously though, it looks nice. I might grab a copy.
