Adobe, please invest LOVE into Fireworks CS6 to support macOS 64bit

Dear Adobe Fireworks CS6 team,

after several years of NOT LOVING one of your best screen design tools "Fireworks", please invest updating and supporting macOS 64bit.

I paid and invested into Adobe products over 30.000 USD within the last 20 years for updates and upgrades of Adobe software and "Fireworks" is one of most used Apps within our UI design workflows. Therefore it would be appropriate if you could re-invest into your longtime Fireworks customers and bring some LOVE and macOS 64bit for your adopted child Fireworks.

What is your stance and your update strategy about Fireworks?

Should we change to something else, but please don't tell me Photoshop... This is and was always a horrible user experience with a cluttered UI.

Regards from Munich Germany,

Florian

    Hi Florian,

    Fireworks was put into EOL status by Adobe back in 2013 so unfortunately I doubt they will do anything with it (as much as I wish and hope they do). The decision to stop developing the BEST UI/UX/screen design tool is still a mystery to me and I'm with you on Photoshop which is a horrible experience compared to Fireworks.

    Adobe's answer is to ask people to do round-trips between different products like Photoshop, Illustrator and XD. Fireworks takes care of everything all on one application for 99% of tasks and an updated version of Fireworks today with more emphasis on mobile design would have blown all the other competition out of the water (I doubt Sketch would have ever taken off if like it has if Fireworks had been developed as it should have been).

    I'm sorry to say, I don't know of any example where Adobe has reversed an EOL decision ...
