Adobe used to have an app called Fireworks that was great for non-artists. They got it when they bought Macromedia. Too bad they killed it. I hope Graphite will replace it.

Fireworks was the closest thing to figma we got before figma. It was the very best webdev design tool before adobe bought and murdered it.

I remember being excited that Photoshop was going to start to work more like fireworks when they bought it. What a naive dummy I was.

Adobe killed almost everything they bought from Macromedia.

I remember it. Fireworks was intended for UI design (like Figma or XD). It had both vector and raster tools, but they were quite basic.

Graphite looks like it could become the jack-of-all-trades app, since its foundation looks very flexible (i.e. the node graph). But, it is in its early development phase and adding necessary features is going to take many years.
