I think Photoshop is the most flexible image editing program out there...and it's meant more for print media and not wed media unlike Fireworks. There's so many different ways to do one thing in Photoshop which is what I like about it the most.

I hope Adobe gets rid of Macromedia's UI. That was one of the reasons why I gave up action scripting in flash because the User Interface was a pain to work with.

I wonder if Adobe would try incorporating SVG with Flash somehow. I see more potential for SVG than Flash.
