- cartermatic 3y agoRIP to Fireworks, it's the first tool I ever used for design.
- nolok 3y agoFireworks wasn't an original Adobe product but a Macromedia one they got during the acquisition. Adobe seems to have had some massive lack of effort for those (Flash being the prime exemple).
- madeofpalk 3y agoYet another example of Adobe purchasing their biggest competition and then shutting it down!
- i_am_jl 3y ago>Fireworks tried to fill the gaps between PS and Illustrator, but never got traction. I couldn't disagree more. Fireworks was a perfect blend of raster and vector editing and was killer for early 2000s web design work. It was an amazing Macromedia product that got neglected by Adobe. If I'm in a cynical mood I sometimes think it's because an up-to-date Fireworks would have cannibalized the sales of PS/AI, but I think that gives too much credit to Adobe.
