CC2015 is so bad I bought a copy of Sketch.

    Thats where tools like Sketch come in - they do a set range of things, and they do it to the best it can. (I say it like this, cause theres some bugs that bother crap out of me ha!)

    Fireworks already did almost everything people praise Sketch for… yet Adobe decided it was better off killing that and rolling Sketch features into Photoshop rather than rebuilding their own slim MVP for screen design from the ashes of Fireworks.

      I seriously don't get why Adobe did this.

      Fireworks could have been one of the best tools in the business if they had just put some effort into it.

        Because they don't understand or even care about how their customers use their products.

        • Killing Fireworks and Freehand, cramming everything into Photoshop = Not understanding your customers
        • Outsourcing almost all development bar some of Photoshop and all of After Effects to India because it's cheap = Not caring about your customers

        Maybe because in their old business model, the more features they crammed in Photoshop, the more people would purchase new versions of it.

        We can agree that using Photoshop for UI design 5 years ago was much less crazy than doing it today — and a leaner app like Fireworks perhaps wouldn't bring as much interest back then as it would today.

        After they changed to Creative Cloud, it makes no fucking sense, though. I guess they are living with the consequences of their past decisions and now decided to just go with it.
