"Excellent potential..."
Version: Adobe Fireworks CS4 7.0.2
Summary

... but possibly the worst programming on the planet. I have dodgy shareware that performs better than this application. Macromedia should pull their finger out and get a decent version of this app out of the door: it needs to be fast, reliable and worth the money they charge for the suite (in which DW is also a pile of c*** performance-wise). We repeatedly create files that work fine for ages, then suddenly take up to 15 minutes to open, corrupt some typeface rendering, then become completely unworkable.
The best toolset of screen-targeted layout by far, but boy does Macromedia need to hire some decent programmers and QA staff. Some that had used a Mac before would be nice too. -
"Macromedia has dropped the ball again..."
Version: Adobe Fireworks CS4 7.0.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This was once a unique and truly great piece of software. It's still unique (ImageReady is amazingly unflexible compared to this vector/bitmap combo) but for a long time it has been very very very frustrating to use. Ever since the port to OS X it's been fantastically slow and filled with weird bugs. This new version is still like that. i don't notice any 'performance improvements', on the contrary: it still takes up to 5 or 10 seconds for the program to realise you've clicked on something else and that maybe maybe maybe it should refresh the related info in the Properties palette. This is only one example of many things that do not go the way they should go. Fireworks MX 2004 is loaded with great features, it's a killer app waiting to happen but right now it's beta software and it has been for the last two years. I wish Adobe would step up to the plate, it doesn't seem like Macromedia is interested in Mac OS X anymore... -
"Updater STINKS"
Version: Adobe Fireworks CS4 7.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The updater runs on half of our systems without problems. Completely beachballs the other half, forcing a HARD reboot, and never performing the update.
Crashes during a "search of the hard drive". What exactly do they need to search the whole hard drive for?
Crashes hard regardless of normal user, clean user, root user, extensions and startups disabled... Bad. This needs to be cleaned-up Macromedia! The tools are far too expensive to not be able to use them! -

"Yes!"

This what should have ship in the first place. But, all-well.... Launches in about haft the time, opens files 3 or 4 time faster, and best of all... It know longer use 20% to 30% all of the time. Even when I'm working in another app. If you use Photoshop and Illustrator, This is one app you should take for a spin. Daul 1.25 with 2 GB of ram.
BTW: Even if you have already registered, do it again! Macromedia had a few extras Extension for you to download. but only for about another or so. -
"Busted!"

Summary

Tried to update, got the very vague "an error has prevented the installation process" error message... And now my version 7.0 is broken. When I launch Fireworks I get "Application Launch Failure The application "Fireworks" could not be launched because of a shared library error:" Now I have to do a complete reinstall. God Bless you Macromedia! No wonder I prefer Adobe products. -
"MX2004 slow until..."
Version: Adobe Fireworks CS4 7.0.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I installed Panther and all of the MXMMIV apps, while not as responsive as some others, are appreciably more responsive now. I agree that MM didn't do such a hot job of optimizing this suite for OSX but Panther is giving them some promise. This updater installed with no problems...yet. Here's the URL for the list of what they "fixed." http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/fireworks/mx2004/releasenotes_701.html -
