I used to make jokes about Fireworks, but after I studies up and got my Dreamweaver 8 cert, I realized what it was and what it was for, and now I'm really pretty glad it's still around. It'll never replace Photoshop, and that's not what it's there for. The beautiful integration with Dreamweaver and features designed largely for buttons and web graphics make it a whole other beast.
Now, as to Freehand/Illustrator, I personally only used Illustrator, because that's what they have where I work. So long as there still is a product like that, I'm fine. I'm just kind of peeved that what I've been calling Flash 9 isn't called that anymore. I just don't like the sound of flash cs3... On 3/27/07, Paul Andrews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
