BRING BACK FIREWORKS (or actually make a program have the same functions, or at least help with it)

Hello!

I and many others still use this software. Many of us have had difficulty continuing to launch this program leading to us sadly having to utilize other programs that do not meet our needs. There to this day is not an alternative that functions quite the same way. A lot of the time a person will have to painstakingly use multiple programs to achieve the result they could have achieved in Fireworks in seconds.

Of all programs to discontinue... why the one that is the most viable for the diverse needs of Graphic Designers focused on UX???

Please please finally listen to the people who have been using this program since macromedia. There is legitimately no program that does half of what it does half as effectively. I have tried Illustrator, I have tried InDesign, I use Photoshop nearly daily and can guarantee it is not nearly as easy to do multiple functions that I still have to open Fireworks to do.

I implore you to either add all the Fireworks functions to another program, or consider actually supporting or even continuing the Fireworks program. As an example it would not be hard to add a convert to alpha button to Photoshop and I think everyone who still uses it would appreciate the tools from the web section to Photoshop instead of just Dreamweaver (no offense but I despise Dreamweaver and would rather not use it ever to be frank), and let us preview the HTML and image in the browser. 

Furthermore the ability to create and edit gifs in fireworks remains fairly unparalled. 

I really wish Adobe thought about the tools we were losing when discontinuing this program and chose to incorporate them into another program instead of just abandoning ship.

Feature requests need to be made to the product engineers for each application. Photoshop does it on this Community forum; Illustrator and InDesign continue to use UserVoice. First, read how to write a feature request and only make one request per post so it can be tracked.

In addition, there is a Fireworks forum:

Sadly I exhausted all those options before I got here. It's not a supported app so it's been dropped from all of those places.
