It was sad to see both Fireworks (and Dreamweaver, in a previous life) get progressively less and less attention from Adobe over the years. I wonder what kind of web development tools we would have available today if Adobe never acquired Macromedia and let it keep innovating.<p>The fact that such a complex workflow (creating static designs, outsourcing coding, manually integrating with a backend, etc) is still being asked of creatives in 2013 boggles my mind.<p>With a bunch of web-focused tools just now starting to get off the ground - like Easel, Divshot, Jetstrap, Webflow (my company), Froont, Jetstrap, Macaw, etc etc - it's exciting to see Adobe get some real competition in the web space. The demise of Fireworks may actually be a blessing in disguise in the long term.
