I started using this software when it was Macromedia Fireworks 4 when I was 12 years old in 2001.
I still use it to annotate things and get super quick wireframes on top of existing designs. For example taking a screenshot and moving things around. I still think there is no better software for this.
But for actually designing things that will be used in 2024... It just isn't enough anymore. I really wish someone would copy its way of handling images and vectors as it is sooo intuitive and easy.
Currently for other tasks I have had to learn Figma and Affinity Designer 2.
I still use Fireworks even though there is no longer any new support for it. I have used it for years and it does what I need when it comes to certain applications. I use Adobe Illustrator for Vector graphics, and Adobe Fireworks for pixel graphics. It sure beats Microsoft Paint.
After years using Dreamweaver there is no substitute yet for Fireworks. The only drawback is lack of support for newer digital formats.
None of the listed software is really an alternative to adobe fireworks. As well as a bitmap editor, Firworks works with vectors but render them as pixels specifically as a tool for screen design. Also having reusable "symbols", "pages" and a range of prototype export tools, sets this tool apart as a specific design tool for pixel based interfaces.
I agree, the only one that is close to fireworks is sketch for Mac
True
Great for quick mockups, simple vector work or planning out layouts or UI
