    I have no problems with using any software, I use them all. I need to use several because each serve it's purpose. And for layouts, ID is far superior. I'm not saying that while using it, I won't touch PS or AI. That's just stupid and limitating. I just cringe everytime I see someone say ID is for print and can't do web. Yes it can, yes it does. And it all depends on the job in question.
    Like what you show, it doesn't make much sense to do it in ID. That's fine, there's others more fit to the task. But doing The New Yorker site (http://www.newyorker.com) in PS is equally retarded.

    I tried to grasp FW but I wasn't confortable with it. That doesn't mean it's bad software, just that I'm bad with it and don't have a lot of time to experiment with it for now (I'm sure I'll be tempted again somewhere down the road)...

    The point of this is, know your tools, know your team, use the tool you're confortable with (and the rest of the team) and use it well, if it doesn't do the job, switch to a more fitting one. Or maybe don't do stuff you shouldn't be doing at all because it makes us all look bad...
