Having used Photoshop since version 5.5 (1997-8??) I guess I've not really looked into Fireworks even though it's now installed with my CS3 Web Premium applications. Photoshop has always been the "go to" tool for me. It did have a long learning curve until I felt competent with it. When I did take a quick look at Fireworks I guess I expected things to work more like Photoshop and never really got the "hang" of it so gave up since I could do everything in Photoshop...
The other thing I use Photoshop for are photos and photo correction especially since I can shoot in digital negative format and play with a photo to make it look the way I want. I just got the install CD today for CS5 Web Premium and am looking forward to exploring the new features!
Guess it all boils down to using whatever tool is most comfortable and helps you get the job done...
