Fireworks was basically sketch + a slice of Photoshop but years before Sketch was even relevant.

Absolutely mind boggling how Adobe didn’t see value in it at the time.

“Absolutely mind boggling how Adobe ___________”

Lots of ways to fill in that particular blank. Lots of squandered opportunities and questionable choices over there.

Actually Adobe killed Fireworks in attempt to push more users in Photoshop/Illustrator land. I remember clearly paying a license only to find out months later that Fireworks is dead.

Yeah I remember them adding more ui design features to photoshop but the workflow was so painfully clunky and underpowered compared to fireworks.
