Have you used Sketch? It lets you design UI much faster and the export tools are awesome.

Inkscape wasn't built specifically for UI design and is a much more generic vector editor, so it cannot match a tool made specifically for UI design.

Honestly, export tools in inkscape suck. And you cannot reuse elements (you can with linked duplicates, but updating a linked duplicate doesn't update original, while the reverse works).

I had not looked at it for a while, but there is also Pencil [1]. It is an open-source UI mockup tool, that also has export to HTML with some support for interactive mockups. Not sure how it compares to sketch 3, as it is appears to be a mac-only application that costs 99$, and I can't try it out to compare.

I just fired it up for the first time in a while, and actually looks pretty solid. (It is also available in the Fedora repos)

Might be interesting to work on a adwaita set of templates for mocking up apps for Fedora Workstation.

I disagree with you to some extent. I'd say mostly. Right now I'm doing the JavaME service access point (fancy name for app) for a County B.I. system for one of the counties here in Kenya. The UI is basically built by code, so the images and icons are more important in this case. Inkscape and Corel helped me get done with the design in a little over 3 days into the development period. They'll launch in two weeks. Inkscape gets things done faster. Lesser adjustments to make and all.
