Call for feedback!

Why Choose Macromedia/Adobe Fireworks

Tonight I finally published my article titled "Why Choose Fireworks" which I talked about here before as well as on Scott Fegette’s blog. It’s been a long time coming but I think it’s particularly timely in these post acquisition days when there’s so much speculation and downright misinformation being spread about Fireworks.
