You took the words right out of my mouth. I really dislike ImageReady,
although it's better than it used to be. I've used them both for graphics
production and slicing, but I find Fireworks to be a lot more intuitive to
use than ImageReady.
I tried ImageReady once simply because it has some integration with Photoshop. I just couldn't get it to do what I wanted, but I'd had training in Fireworks so it wasn't looking good for ImageReady right from the start.
Since DW and Fireworks are already part of the same
suite and DW has greater market share, it would be great to see Fireworks
survive and ImageReady either die or be completely integrated into PS.
I sincerely hope you're right. I'm hoping they keep the products as-is and just offer a range of packages at a discounted price.
I know there are a lot of Freehand developers out there who are pretty
worried right now as well. Some are speculating that Freehand will be sold
to another company
Well Adobe did sell Freehand after buying Aldus to get PageMaker, so maybe they'll sell Freehand again after buying Macromedia for Flash :)
