Probably would have been a 100-200 meg Fireworks file of Adobe hadn’t killed that.

Photoshop is incredibly wasteful in its resource usage to do UI design in.

(Fireworks had almost the entire feature set of Sketch but 10 years earlier for those that don’t know)

When I was studying I much preferred fireworks. It was awesome.

I asked my friend last night what his largest photoshop file is but he said he no longer uses photoshop for about a year now. Everything is in sketch. And he’s back on an iMac. I’ve never heard of sketch.

I think about Fireworks all the time. RIP.

It was what I was most scared about dying when Adobe bought Macromedia... and I was right.

Now only if I could get a "Fireworks" clone in JavaScript, ha.
