Fireworks is nice for wireframes and hi-res mockups. I have experienced some problems with Fireworks CS4 for example when exporting to interactive PDF large files would hang. Fireworks also allows only one master-page to be set; there are many times when I%u2019m building a hi-res mockup to test usability that I would like multiple master-pages. As an example one master-page for the top level sites another master-page for the sub-sites would be nice. I%u2019m actually looking into building individual elements in Fireworks and then move them into InDesign, because InDesign supports multiple master pages. I can then create hotspots/buttons inside InDesign and use them for navigating, that allows me to create an interactive mockup. I%u2019m happy with the results so far, InDesign seems more stable. But I still go back to Fireworks/Photoshop/Illustrator (whatever works best) to build the basic elements.
