  According to this tweet, "neglected" may be as good as it gets from here on out. https://twitter.com/DeeSadler/status/331209193451315202 https://twitter.com/DeeSadler/status/331209193451315202 Edit: here's a blog post too: http://blogs.adobe.com/fireworks/2013/05/the-future-of-adobe-fireworks.html http://blogs.adobe.com/fireworks/2013/05/the-future-of-adobe...

    I think everybody knew it was eventually inevitable. Though the conceit in that blog post about "increasing amount of overlap" is decent PR-speak, it's really disingenuous and dances around the fact that there was always a large overlap between Fireworks and both Illustrator and Photoshop. The big issue was whether Adobe was ever going to be really genuinely willing to address a fundamental tension: * on one hand, Photoshop has always been a fundamentally flawed tool for screen design (I'd even go so far as to speculate that by now it's cost as much in designer and developer productivity as IE6 ever did). * on the other hand, it's one of the biggest brands ever and its status as a verb is gives a lot to its owner I guess today is the day they've announced the other hand wins permanently. The sad thing is if Fireworks ever had a chance, the creative cloud setup where professionals could play with it extensively at no additional cost might have been the best setup.
