I have never been able to make the switch from Fireworks to Illustrator.
I never was a "drawer" and the toolset in Illustrator always seem to 
speak to those folks.
It is however GREAT for type manipulation on a poster type page (Quark, 
InDesign is better for typesetting in a book page).

But for doing GUI design I have not found a tool I love more than Fireworks.
Of course if you grew up in Photoshop/Illustrator and feel comfy living 
there, then why move? I don't see any reason to move from one to the other.

Now, Photoshop vs. Fireworks that is a completely different story. ;)
