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.

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.
