What is the value of Sketch for a layout designer?

Question

Design

Hey! Faced with the need to master sketch. It seems like a lot of articles have been written in its favor, as it seemed to me, for a designer, yes - it certainly is teeming with advantages, but what about a developer or layout designer? Are there any features in which Sketch is better than Photshop for the one who will later make a website or application from the layout? Dear web designers and front-end developers, can you share the main features of this program? And maybe links to competent articles about it (except for sketchapp.). That is what the leader of the tale "Master" eats .. but what to master then? Or is the coder's entire fear only of the program interface? I would be grateful for a quick reply!

Answer 1

but what about the developer or layout designer?

see the report of Vadim Makeev: What typesetters laugh about . He gave a couple of cases there, in which sketch can help the layout designer.
In general, there are a lot of things that turned out to be useful to me personally:
- instead of a detailed design specification, or an eyedropper, you can simply copy the css of individual elements
- it is possible to automate graphics slicing (taking into account the grid, retina, etc.)
- it is convenient when developing an adaptive design, etc.

Answer 2

Runs faster than Photoshop.

Answer 3

For the sketch, there is Avocode, which speeds up the layout ten times
