Tom,
I'm really not trying to argue but provide specific examples of why I
switched to Fireworks... can you provide the top 3 or 5 specific
reasons you prefer Photoshop for GUI design?
Not to belabor the point, but we are generating a lot of graphics
right now for tons of courses and the info could be helpful.

Josh,
I do use Fireworks and Flash and Illustrator and Photoshop and have
been using some of them for over seventeen years. I make heavy use
of key shortcuts and features in all of them and get a lot of power
out of each.
I would say that for web based buttons that Fireworks is what I
would use but for GUI design there is no way I would use either
Fireworks or Illustrator but instead would be doing some amazing
things in Photoshop.
You see, I am not putting Fireworks down and do agree that it has
it's place especially for web based things but to say that
Photoshop is only great for photo retouching then you miss out on
all of the powerful features and things that Photoshop can do and
do better than most software.
To use your analogy using Fireworks is like using a vice grip but
as a vice grip and using Photoshop is like using a whole set of
tools and having all four applications is like having a great big
tool box in my opinion.
Thanks
Tom

not the right tool for the job.
Give it a wack, you'll never go back!
, but then Photoshop can do so much more than Fireworks overall
that choosing between them is more of a comfort level than
feature decision.

Tom
