I have to be honest, I have only had fleeting experience with Fireworks; the times I have used it I have been impressed by the way it is so obviously geared towards web design. A few years ago I used to to design and output code/assets for a quite basic (but very reliable) dropdown menu I needed in a hurry and it saved me a lot of time and hassle. Those I know who use it regularly do say it has reduced the time they spent putting layouts together. However, just through the familiarity and pure power of Photoshop, I have never really been drawn to use Fireworks full time. Is it your tool of choice? Anyone else have a preference? Thanks for the feedback, Justin!

I agree with all of your comments. Especially the 50/50 time spent on Design and Coding. When I was studying web design (8 years ago) we covered the interface design and layout but there was no CSS or XHTML training at all . Over the years I have developed the necessary skills and now my job includes front-end coding. Being a well rounded and skilled web designer definitely involves knowing the ins-and-outs off CSS, XHTML and Javascript. It would be great to know your views on Adobe Fireworks and how it compares to Photoshop? Justin - @bigclickstudios Nice interview Thomas! I agree with all of your comments.
