Back in the day, this grafx biz we're in used to be easier. You knew your target medium (paper or film), artwork could be massaged, and--dammit-deadlines were reasonable. Now you better be able to rebuild and repurpose overnight! At last Adobe has brought to Illustrator some of the things the Macromedia people have been jeering at the lack of for so long. Key functionality like being able to reslice around that new layout, combine and modify vector and raster grafx, CSS, FLASH format support(!!!!)...on and on.

You may not have the [money] for this upgrade right now. If in that case, pull Mama out of the home for a month or two, and use the money to buy this upgrade, especially if you do a lot of multiformat work. Now that this functionality is available in Illustrator, you have virtually full round trip between your Mmedia and Adobe packages. Not everything works the way you'd intuitively guess, and some web things are still easier in Fireworks, but the longer you forgo this, the more those baggy-pants youngsters are going to be eating your clients's lunch, or--more likely-- eating lunch with your clients.
