I think it's time for it to stop trying to serve every possible graphic purpose. No doubt it is the kingpin of graphics software, but I would actually love to see them cut back on some features that compete with Fireworks, a tool with a more focused mission that does a killer job with interface design and functionality. Because Photoshop CAN do so much doesn't mean it's the best tool, particularly when you're talking about products that will end up online. Fireworks was made to play nice with Flash and Dreamweaver, spitting out CSS and HTML so designers can help speed the development process. Go on Photoshop (you know you'll always be my first love), go rock the 3-D world, but step back and let Fireworks do it's thing. Photoshop was gigantic before, now it will be even larger.
