Snippet: The Future of Adobe Fireworks ☇

Adobe PR:

While we are not planning further feature development for Fireworks, we will continue to sell Fireworks CS6 as well as make it available as part of the Creative Cloud.

As more specific details on the next version of Windows and Mac OS X are made available, we may adjust these plans.
