I've tried using tools specifically made for UI design but all have fallen
short and been way too restrictive for my tastes. I don't like doing
wireframes in one app and then having to redo them completely to do a full
visual design; with inkscape i can do both in the same file.
Believe me, Sketch is one of a kind. You can edit vector inside Sketch as
it's vector editor too. But the tools and organization is more focused
towards UI design rather than complex icon designs. I've never needed to
redo my designs or adjust them in another tool, except raster images.
Not true, there's a new symbols feature now (works similar to how
symbols
in Macromedia Flash work / worked.)
There is? In which version? And how do you use it?

That is true, but it's always good when things are easier to do. I find
Inkscape much better when doing icons and stuff.
