I’m officially adopting Fireworks over Photoshop for website prototyping because of one particular feature. Like Flash, with Fireworks you can create a ‘symbol’, let’s say a thumbnail border, and place multiple instances of that thumbnail border on a page. If later I decide to change the color of the border, I can simply edit the master symbol and the change would filter down to all instances. Oh, and you can auto align objects. I’m going guide-free!
Aside, the UI is a little junky, but excusable.
Right there with you. I’ve been using Fireworks on a project I’m working on and have decided it’s much easier to use than Photoshop (aside from those niggling UI issues—like no scrolling in the layers palette!)
But generally speaking, I much prefer Fireworks to Photoshop for prototyping websites.
