The death of Fireworks made me much much better at CSS, SVG, and HTML.
Because just doing it in those technologies is often just as fast if not more productive than doing a mock-up in XD or Photoshop or Illustrator.
I’ll use a vector editor to edit shapes, and Photoshop for anything photographic or that client-side filters can’t handle but that’s about it.
So in a way I’m grateful for Adobe killing Fireworks and making the alternatives so unpalatable.

I did use Dreamweaver and the Adobe app whose name is eluding me. One day I actually looked at the HTML/CSS from those apps, and it was not human readable at all. From that day forward, I started moving away from those apps and just wrote it by hand. So much less bloat. But I will admit, they were most definitely a nice set of training wheels to start the learning process.
- joahua 3y agoYes! Do people still use it for EDMs? Or did responsive email kill this use case too?
