Cons
Con Was phased out by Adobe
Adobe abandoned this product with no single suitable replacement. Unfortunately, a common story with Adobe products. -- Very disappointing.
Con Crashes every once in a while
It is prone to unexpected crashes. Frequent saves are recommended. -- AGREED!
Con Proprietary PNG format
If you created files with their proprietary PNG format and you no longer have Fireworks (they phased it out) then you're out of luck since nothing else will read those files and preserve the layers and other features that Fireworks offered.
Con Subscription fee
After the free trial, users must set up your account with an option of their 3 subscription services - Garage, Business, and Enterprise [$8.99, $12.99, or TBD]. The cost is low, but monthly.
