Hey DN! How's your experience been using Sketch/Adobe CS on the Sierra Beta?
Not very good. Sketch is considerably slower and crashes often.
I'm currently having crash issues with Sketch on El Capitan. :(
Why do people always try to do this?
Using a beta OS as your main production machine is insane.
Agreed. My feeds would always be sprinkled with people who'd grabbed developer credentials to nab betas, and then 24 hours later be panicking because an important program wasn't working anymore.
“Main production machine” is the important point. I’m running it, but on a secondary Mac.
I’ve been using Photoshop and Illustrator on beta 1 and beta 2 and haven’t noticed any issues yet (I’ve used Photoshop more than Illustrator though).
MacDown crashes consistently though. I haven’t noticed any other apps misbehaving.
Edit: Actually, Save For Web is a bit crashy in Photoshop.
What about Affinity product. I have been considering using it a lot more for the color advantages of Sketch and the performance. Maybe my 12" MB could be the primary again?
All are slower and crash more. Photoshop will crash on Export/Save for Web 75% of the time.
