Performance:
Lag
I used Sketch via 3 separate WiFi networks and had no issues with overall performance. The design functions updated quickly with little to no lag time. Adding, editing, changing, and saving components was instantaneous. Check out the Drag & Drop Editor video below for a live demo.
Collaboration
Sketch is known for its collaboration tools, which allow designers to work together seamlessly and create designs that are responsive and adaptable to different devices and screen sizes. The only drawback is that users need to be within the Mac app for real-time collaboration. Otherwise, comments and edits can be made through the browser app. Click the video for a detailed explanation:

Verdict:
Sketch is a powerful and user-friendly web design tool that is widely used by professionals in the field. Its vector editing, prototyping, and collaboration tools make it a valuable tool. Sketch does have some limitations, though. It is only compatible with macOS and does not allow for code editing. For purposes of design and collaboration, it is one of the most user-friendly and customizable tools I’ve used.
