I love drawing with that program.

maybe its cuz i suck with graphics lol - but the primary reason for flash was not drawing - flash and fireworks came out at the same time a while back by macromedia - was their way of getting people to buy both to make more money - one for regular graphics and the other for flash animations

Actually, if you want to get technical - then Linux is right. The reason Flash was MADE was to deal with technical issues of animation, movies, web sites and the smart users IMPORT their real art from Photoshop.

Also - if you wanna be technical, the reason flash sucks for drawing in is because it uses alpha-numerical calculations to render it's art and graphics, called Vectors.

So, if you can use Flash to draw - knock yourself out, but no one in their right mind would recommend it to another user over Photoshop for drawing, designing, or remastering graphics.

That's like saying to someone who's never used a writing instrument that a four year old's fat-body, gigantic crayola is better for writing a letter with than a simple Bic pen. Sure - they do the same thing, but the pen is much more efficient and easier to use.

Also - I would take Fireworks off of this list because it's horrible to use for anything outside of gif work or partial website design. It's clunky and worthless. D;

i actually thought they discontinued Fireworks after adobe bought macromedia but I see that they still have it...meh. It still deserves to be on the list since the list isn't about the most popular or "best" graphics programs. Just graphics programs :)
