It hardly pales. In the respect that it's designed for a completely different purpose (web graphics as opposed to general graphics editing) it is miles ahead of Photoshop.
Essentially, photoshop is a bitmap program with rudimentary vector capabilities. Fireworks is a vector program with decent bitmap capabilities.
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.

I DO use it! In fact, it's pretty much all I use.
EDIT: See the monkey (avatar) all paths drawn in Fireworks.

True Bennett.
I had to use Fireworks in school for some course. I had been using photoshop for a few years already and fireworks just didn't measure up at all in my mind. I found it to be a weak program but probably a good one for beginners. (not saying whoever uses it is a beginner).

To me it comes down to personal preferance. You can create the same websites with both of them, just depends on how you use each program. I personally don't like the interface of fireworks.

You cannot product the same products in each.
Technically, the ability to edit some of the vectors hear-after in PS is lacking compaired to fireworks, however you can create most anything that Fireworks offers in PS(or PS's counterpart, Illustrator.). Fireworks on the other hand can not mimic most of the bitmap abilities that PS offers.

I did not say the same product, what I said was the same type of websites can be created. Both programs can be used to create nice professional websites, which is what a lot of us here do. In the end it comes down to personal preferance.
