It's a desktop program but offers cloud based features for documents ( mostly to do with collaborations between people ). It's hugely popular in web design - feature-wise Xara does way more than sketch, but because it is oriented towards a specific goal - software/website design - it doesn't have 1,000 features you don't need and five that you do. It doesn't try and be a photoshop/illustrator/inDesign/Dreamweaver amalgam like Xara. It does one job really well. Anyone using Xara could tell me 50 things Xara does that Sketch doesn't. I would agree with them and say it's better to do some things really well and be fast and easy to work with than have 50 extra things there that get in the way.

I make a lot of design stuff in Sketch and use the assets created using Sketch in other software. I have an eco-system of software that forms my development pipeline.
