For sketching I always use balsamiq now. It really has the simplicity to sketch out the basics. It's so simple that its great to use in colaboration with the customers and the users, especially in agile projects.
But for more complex sketches and flows its not the ideal tool... yet. But one good thing about it is that the xml format (bmml) is specified and open so some tooling might be possible to transport the sketches to a more complex tool like Omigraffle or anything else that works for you. Also I'm thrilled to se what MS came up with in sketchflow<http://electricbeach.org/?p=145>, as some of my projects are in wpf and silverlight. // Håkan --- Håkan Reis User experience and .NET Consultant at Dotway AB Øredev Program Committee Our conference || http://oredev.org - It's going to be great in 2009 My company || http://dotway.se My blog || http://blog.reis.se On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 17:50, Nasir Barday <nbarday+i...@gmail.com<nbarday%2bi...@gmail.com> > wrote: > In my experience, Fireworks works best for pixel-accurate prototyping (and > has the handy Master page feature, borrowed from InDesign).
