    Anyone who thinks Photoshop is unsuitable for UI design should read at least some in-depth articles by Marc Edwards. http://bjango.com/articles/

    Take the best from his workflow—make it your own—start using Creative Cloud Libraries—use linked smart Objects and I bet you there's nothing to beat PS by a mile.

    P.S. I have used sketch since its early days and still use it. It just doesn’t replace PS for me still. Also PS is headed the right way, they have a wonderful team who listen to their users and are excited to bring significant changes over the past two years. Nothing beats PS for its stability and memory management and finally its not about this tool or that tool, its about learning to use it the correct way. Illustrator is brilliant for icons or vector stuff, but until they fix antialiasing I do not recommend it for UI design/assets.

      Fair enough, but I try to work only in vector so I don't have to worry about the poor antialiasing in Illustrator (all our images and other such assets are used as straight SVG in our app).

      Also with the number of screen sizes and pixel densities you have to work with now, it becomes impossible to truly control for pixel-perfect design when using bitmaps.

        Bitmaps? The days of bitmaps are long gone :) Smart objects in PS are all vector and so are smart shapes pasted into PS from illustrator. It would be actually criminal to use bitmaps for UI design. Exporting multiple assets for iOS and Android are a single click for me either using the built in asset generator or custom actions. Also, PS generator also has options to exports svg.

          Sorry, to clarify I meant raster-based images.

          I know that PS has smart objects and vectors, I mean the final output used in your application.

          I have stopped using raster-based images and just use SVGs now.
