it streamlines the whole process of making and slicing web layouts and produces much more efficient coding than Imageready ever could (not that I use that feature...since I've gone CSS I only use it for the graphics themselves)
Plus its a lot better value for money..

Photoshop is also miles ahead of it in bitmap capablities. Most designers do not require the work of the built in scripter, as well as, illustrator goes hand and hand with PS for vectoring(was well illustrator's vector features are by far past firework's.). I do suppose it's an ok choice if you are not familar with all the workings of a basic website.
