I use both. I learned how to design sites using Dreamweaver way back when it first came out so now I have Macromedia Studio MX. It came with fireworks so I have learned how to use it due to how closely it intergrates with Dreamweaver and Flash MX. However filburt is right, it can't compare with Photoshop in terms of shear power. And of course power comes with a price, a big one when it comes to Adobe. I love my Photoshop CS but sometimes I wonder if I really need it. Most things I can do in Fireworks., though there are times when I hit a wall in a project and know I can turn to PS to get it done. Really I'd say it all depends on your needs vs. how much $ you want to invest. Oh and if it's just a learning thing, learn PS, once you master that every other Graphics program is easy. Only issue I had learning Fireworks after PS was just finding where everything was in the interface.
