I've tried using tools specifically made for UI design but all have fallen short and been way too restrictive for my tastes. I don't like doing wireframes in one app and then having to redo them completely to do a full visual design; with inkscape i can do both in the same file.Believe me, Sketch is one of a kind. You can edit vector inside Sketch as it's vector editor too. But the tools and organization is more focused towards UI design rather than complex icon designs. I've never needed to redo my designs or adjust them in another tool, except raster images.Not true, there's a new symbols feature now (works similar to how symbols in Macromedia Flash work / worked.)There is? In which version? And how do you use it?
Symbols are part of the SVG standard 1.1 since a long time, Inkscape integrated it with version 0.91, so Fedora user can already use it. Inkscape brings a set of symbol library as default stored under .../symbols you can open the dialog with choosing object->symbols or Ctrl-Shift-Y and just drag & drop in the needed one. Visio stencil files .vss can also be used as symbol librarys.
The feature to convert a drawing into an symbol isnt integrated yet but will come, but it can be done by hand

There's quite a few of us who use the FLOSS tools without issue. The main challenge is if you have to use spot colors; it's possible but a little hacky. I find Inkscape and Gimp to be more feature-rich than their proprietary cousins.That is true, but it's always good when things are easier to do. I find Inkscape much better when doing icons and stuff.

You can be a professional graphic designer using the open source tools?
without using Adobe products?
because in college only teach it, just gave an idea of what is the free
design, but the focus is more on Adobe software such as Photoshop,
Illustrator and InDesign.
I particularly tried to learn to use the gimp, scribus and inkscape and
the only one that pleased me doi the sribus to replace InDesign.
So I wonder if you can get success, being free, since in my opinion the
tools lose some of the other software.
