Fireworks CS3 Review on Designorati

About two weeks ago, Jeremy Shulz pub­lished an “inter­est­ing” review of Fireworks on Designorati. I put “inter­est­ing” in quotes because I strongly dis­agree with many of his points… start­ing with the title of his review: “Fireworks CS3 Is Looking For its Niche”.
