Sketch used to be the first choice for app developers. However, it has always been macOS only and their collaboration tools were lacking for a long time. Don’t know about current differences though.
I still use Sketch because it’s still better at creating general screen-destined vector graphics. While Figma can do that too, it’s more geared for collaborative UI prototyping which makes other use cases a bit of an awkward fit.
Our designers are wedded to Figma so I have to use it from time to time. I despise it. The other day I had some work to do on an old project designed in Sketch and it was an absolute joy. For a lot of things our developers end up taking stuff out of Figma and into Sketch just to be able to work in a pleasant app.

Lacking as in completely non-existent. I used to love Sketch for being a very nice native feeling Mac app but Figma proved that doesn't really matter and I also love the fact it works on PC now PCs are the workhorses for creative AI workflows.
Used to love Sketch then they did some strange stuff with pricing and I moved to Figma. Just checking out their site now might give it a try. But always irks me when companies put SSO as a premium enterprise tier feature.
