Photoshop vs Fireworks [Digital Web]

And so the never ending debate continues. Nathan Smith at Digital Web Magazine had the opportunity to debate the use of Photoshop versus Fireworks with 8 top web designers; 4 in favor of each. Though they each had convincing arguments; the most convincing to me was offered by Jared Christensen, a designer at Viewzi. Jared argues that Photoshop "is the graphics software that has always catered to the pixel. All of our displays (currently) are pixel-based, and [he is] very comfortable working with pixels." I agree completely, Jared. Fireworks is a great tool, and maybe it's just a matter of getting comfortable, but I've always felt that I am a bit more "in control" and my image size are more definite when I'm working in Photoshop.

So who's side are you on?
