Sorry to hear this news. First Google Reader and now Fireworks! The writing has been on the wall for many years, but it is still quite upsetting. I've been a heavy user of Fireworks since version 1 since it really gets the job done vs. Photoshop for layouts, slicing and exporting. The workflow for web design just feels faster when compared to Photoshop. The combined vector/bitmap flow is unparalleled and Photoshop layers feel quite slow for simple web workflows. I can go months without opening Photoshop and it feels like a beast when I do. Hopefully, Adobe can make a "Fireworks"-friendly or "Web Design" workspace in PS. Fireworks fits an excellent niche, which is probably why Adobe likely won't sell it. I really liked some the new version 6 features, such as instantly turning designs in CSS3. Sorry to see you go FW.

> Hopefully, Adobe can make a "Fireworks"-friendly or "Web Design" workspace in PS. This would make sense, but I doubt they would be able to pull it off with the UI. Maybe they have decided that they have the market and people will just have to migrate.

  It's definitely wishful thinking on my part. The UI in Photoshop would make this difficult. I might just have to switch to Illustrator for more of my layout work since I dislike the bitmap-heavy workflow of PS. Everything besides editing photos or building composites in PS feels non-intuitive.
