I use Fireworks for almost everything! Logo's, sprites, banner's...
It's really good!
Advantages:
- Animations
- layered pictures, so that you can edit different parts of a sprite
- Awesome rendering tools like burn and dodge for shading
- Blending tools to make an image blend into another.
- More rendering tools allowing glows, blurs, motion trails, bevel's.
- Very compatible
- Can have multiple sprites open at once
- supports a wide range of formats
- Can create website objects that can be exported to Dreamweaver.
- Wand tool can remove aliasing on internet images.
Disadvantages:
- Not very precise for pixel art.
- Not very good for making isometric buildings, lines are too innacurate
- Quite confusing to work out how to do some things.
I can't think of many disadvantages.
It's a really good program and you should give it ago.
