What are the arguments to motivate a layout designer to switch from Ps to XD?

Question

Design

What are the pros/advantages for the layout designer?
What are the downsides/problems?

Answer 1

Oh, it's simple: pay a lot more for work done on XD than for work done on PS.

Answer 2

Explain to the layout designer that if he typesets layouts by opening Photoshop directly, he loses a lot of time, exactly the same as you lose when developing layouts in Photoshop.
The fact is that there have been tools for layout for a long time, such as Avacod and Zeplin, they can work with both Photoshop and Adobe XD. Explain to him that in these tools it is more convenient to export images, vector shapes, many, many different templates to make it easier to write code.
If a layout designer refuses to make up with Adobe XD or Figma, he does not strive forward, because the future is behind these tools, and it is not far off.

Answer 3

An interesting question. You don't know how to use Photoshop, so you want to force everyone to switch to what you can. I'm not a designer or layout designer, but IMHO Ps will be more popular than XD. So maybe you should consider changing your instrument?

Answer 4

Of the problems, it may be that XD files cannot be opened with anything other than XD, and psd can be opened in gimp
Well, XD is not installed on many operating systems, and it is much easier for a cross-platform WhatsApp.

Answer 5

And he fights back and asks for a normal Sketch + Zeplin?
