  Fireworks is more popular than you think.
  I know for sure a lot of big design studios round where I am use it.

  Its good for laying things out and mocking things up quickly, has a heck of a lot of issues and weird little things though:
  - Fonts don't show up in the menu sometimes
  - Font names are different
  - Doesn't support sub fonts (Selecting Helvetica then selecting the bold/heavy versions from a different menu)
  - Resizing is destructive
  - Gradient Handles can go missing sometimes
  - Grouping groups of objects with blend modes together can sometimes lose the blend modes

  "Paste appearance" is an ace shortcut though

  We use it where I am, but I use Photoshop for things like cutting out/making textures/etc then just lay things out in Fireworks
