I bought Futura Book from them once (the best font ever created IMO). But thank God my work has a contract. I tried GIMP, but nothing matches Photoshop. And it's a damn shame. Someone ought to start making a serious for-profit photoshop competitor. There are so many angles to compete with Adobe, but open source is not going to cut it. You are not just building a tool, you are building an environment. It takes more focus, I think.

One thing that pisses me off endlessly is that every fucking update that comes at me like machine gun fire reinstalls the desktop shortcut. Where is the fucking decency? They know I don't want the shortcut. Do they really think they are going to trick me into keeping it? Fuckers that make decisions like that make me rage.

Fireworks could have been that. Then they bought Macromedia.

Notice how that's about when Flash started to suck ass, too?

I never tried Fireworks.

1. Make a product that competes with Adobe.

2. Start making Adobe look bad.

3. Get bought by Adobe.

4. Profit?

I bet you could get investors to buy into that.
