Fireworks is what the professionals are using now, it's best tool for web/UI if you can learn how to properly use it and tolerate it's frequent crashes.
- CS5 is actually pretty damn stable, compared to 3/4animatedgif

I'm a "professional" and I use PS all the way. Pixel by pixel, layer comps, and vector masks. I like to have texture in my sites, so there are lots of images. I cut everything up from PS as well and save for web. I slice by hand, so to speak.
Then from there, I use Coda for the code. I highly recommend Coda, especially if you have to share your files - the version control is pretty solid.
- I prefer espresso for the live preview alone. If coda 2 has live view I might consider a switchESKEMA

Well most people use PS but I don't really think its fit for purpose.
You even have to add a patch to make a bloody usable grid!
PS is a tool to edit photos. There needs to be a program specifically designed for creating websites that combines InDesign and PS.
My 2 cents / pence- we'll all be using HTML5 tools soonfadein11
- Yeah, doesn't even have a tool to centre an element to the page.animatedgif
- That program already exists BTW, it's Fireworksanimatedgif
- Fireworks is getting there but I still don't find it has all things I like about InDesignChimp

Most people use Photoshop because it's what existed back in the day, as far as I know best tool for web design now it's Fireworks, but you need to learn how to take advantage of it if you are coming from Photoshop.

I think there could be a market for a new Web Images layout program with blows away PH and FW, and maybe, just maybe does not let Adobe have a fucking monopoly in the creative field of design. God knows Adobe could do with some competition.
- There definitely could be, just take Fireworks and fix the parts where Adobe fucked up and it would be job changinganimatedgif
