Absolutely agree Jake ... I do all my design work in Fireworks ... i used it first to "low-fidelity prototype" (albeit higher than something like balsamic) an app's UI, then work through to as pixel perfect a design as I can get to, and constantly go back to the source for rework/inspiration. The fireworks PNG becomes the applications "brand guide" almost, allowing me to set colors, font styles, etc. It should be in every developers back pocket.
