that’s a perfect summation of why i love fireworks as well. i often find it difficult to explain exactly why, but it has more to do with the way you get things done than any particular feature. i sort of grew up with it, and as such, find it very natural; have tried to adapt to similar programs but struggle as they completely break my workflow. and i sort of saw this coming for a while now given its somewhat odd positioning in adobe's product portfolio (overlap with photoshop, illustrator) and the lack of meaningfully updates over the past few iterations (though, as mentioned, there really hasn’t been much room for improvement for a while..). i’ve looked for alternatives, but sadly, can’t seem to find anything suitable.. on the plus side though, i imagine current versions should be perfectly capable for some time to come. it is sad day indeed though.
