[Design-team] Professional Graphic designer?

[Satyajit Sahoo]

Have you used Sketch? It lets you design UI much faster and the export
tools are awesome.

Inkscape wasn't built specifically for UI design and is a much more generic
vector editor, so it cannot match a tool made specifically for UI design.

Honestly, export tools in inkscape suck. And you cannot reuse elements (you
can with linked duplicates, but updating a linked duplicate doesn't update
original, while the reverse works).
