It's vector format is so much easier to use than illustrator. Does it have limitations? I am also puzzled by Firewire works and why it is not just a form of Flash which it doesn't seem to be. Why not just present Flash as a graphic's editor? Any insights, opinions welcomed.

You need Fireworks for web-graphics. For example it’s a cool way to design vector-graphics for flash-movies that you want to use as bitmaps in an alternative html-version. I would never use Fireworks for print jobs. As well as I would never use Illustrator for web-graphics. I don’t think you can compare Illustrator with Fireworks. You need Fireworks for web-graphics.

I'm a little late on this little discourse, but given the subject matter, I couldn't resist submitting a post, even if it is just to say that I totally agree with A. Fruit. To expand perhaps just a bit, consider the following statement: The two tools are really built for very different uses. While Illustrator is a killer tool that posses far more options when it comes to creating artwork, than Fireworks, it isn't geared to web design in the same way that Fireworks is. Fireworks is ideal for web design because it is a raster/vector hybrid. It also does great image compression, and even allows you to slice designs up into hand chunks for coding (even it table-based layouts are dead.) Conversely, Fireworks may be sufficient to create artwork for a children Hey Blue Rodgah!

Illustrator is a true resolution-independant vector building tool, and Fireworks is a rastor-based pixel/vector high-brid - but the fact remains, that it's still rastor-based. So Fireworks is more comparable to Photoshop then Illustrator on a technical level, even though it's tool set is more Illustrator-like then photoshop. The advantage of Illustrator is in it's resolution independence. When a file is created in Illustrator, no pixel information needs to be stored whatsoever. This allows file sizes to be very small (in theory, respectively - you'd have to be designing at 300 pixels per inch res to even compare files in Fireworks), and allows you to deliver a file (like an eps, pdf, etc..) that can be enlarged to any size and not experience any pixelization. With that said, I love Fireworks... And I love Illustrator. I was trained in Illustrator in art school, and am self-taught in Fireworks, carrying over a lot of the methodologies I learned, and making adjustments regarding the interface where applicable. They both have strong points, and things I wish they would do. Illustrator and Fireworks really can’t be compared.

I hear you on this one! I have to use it every once and a while, mainly for printwork or somthing I am going to extude in 3ds max. I have to say, if its raster I am going with Photoshop (like Jeff, I have learned the insanities, and now am one with them) and if it is vector I am on better speaking terms with Illy than freehand (although I know many a artist that live or die by it.)
