Couldn't agree more... it was at least tolerable on 3.3
While less buggy at the moment, the thing about Photoshop is the text doesn't look like it will in the browser. Sketch text rendering looks far more accurate in my opinion.
Ever had the "text rendering is different on Windows (or Android)" conversation with a client? If you just do stuff for Mac OS/iOS then the "accurate text rendering" is valid(ish)
But weigh in the pro's and con's instead. Sure the rendering is more accurate in Sketch, but is that really the most important thing?
I'd rather have knife sharp line height and text boxes from Photoshop than the mess it is now.
The Mac
text setting in Photoshop renders using the standard OS X text rendering engine, and means it matches WebKit/Safari.
Line height? It's just painful! I'm not even going to mention paragraph options and mixing multiple sizes of fonts in the same text area.
This has always been my #01 gripe. Text is awful. I don't think they'll ever fix it.

I just want text to work beautifully like it does in Photoshop. Its super buggy and it got even worse on 3.4.
