[IxDA Discuss] Which is the most used tool for UX nowadays?

[David Malouf]

Gustavo,

I would buy the Premium Design suite form Adobe today. I'm not sure
if the Web design or the Designer Premium editions have everything
you need, but they are pretty much a great collection of tools in a
single (very nicely priced suite).

What I hate about this packaging is that you don't get in the same
package (that I found) Flash, dreamweaver, fireworks, and indesign.
That is the combination I would choose, but if you had to make a
choice, be sure to have inDesign for your documents, Fireworks for
screen design from wireframe to detailed layouts and flash for
prototyping.

Yup, I don't like Illustrator. It does way more than I need and not
enough of what I do need and the new features of fireworks just
rocks, IMHO. Photoshop on the otherhand is the biggest piece of
bloated software on the planet. People say Office is bloated, sheesh!
Ok, forget that bit of flamebait. I would just get one of those
suites.

I would also invest in an MSDN subscription. Something people don't
talk about here. For that subscription you get Visio, Expression
blend and web and Visual Studio. All good solid tools for an
interaction design to engage with as part of the product lifecycle.

(I bet you weren't expecting that, Chris.)
