Argh! I misspelled four years ago asking for alternatives to Firefox.
I meant Fireworks.
So here it go again:

Any good alternatives to Fireworks for webgraphics?

I was going to put Mozy on there, buts its not really a full app – part of it is online….

Also, OmniWeb is great for design, but its really expensive, I’m not sure I know of a free alternatiove to that, maybe Shiira?

Hey, nice list but just a heads up that the link to CyberDuck isn’t correct, it’s just another link to Fugu.

Here’s the proper link to CyberDuck:

well, instead of GIMP i would strongly suggest the all cocoa implementation of SeaShore (via sourceforge) – it is outstanding.

for media, VLC Player (instead of quicktime pro)

for media, FFMpegX instead of VisualHub

…there are sooo many – like Micon for icon swapping and management instead of pixadex…

AND of course the free version of SuperDuper for backup, and free 1PassWd for password encryption and management (free holds up to 12 pw’s)

and of course my favorite, Smultron instead of Textmate…

@Hal B Sure: Wow Gimpshop is amazing. First time I’ve seen it…

I noticed it worked on my Mac nicely. It’s a bit unrelated but I spent some time getting it working on my Ubuntu box as well. A bit of a chore really. If anyone is interested in that see this article for very detailed instructions by Suramya Tomar for compiling and installing GIMPshop under Linux. There is even a Windows version of this app but I didn’t have time to test that one.

Gimpshop really does take most of the klunk out of The Gimp – Good find.

Here’s another backup option.

2gigs free, pay for more than that.

I’d also suggest Gimpshop. It’s GIMP but with an interface that is much more Photoshop-like.

Microsoft’s Foldershare is another free synchronisation-app and cross-platform. Works very well.

for web-design, Mozilla’s NVU is a free Wysiwyg-alternative.

I use AppDelete and I’m thinking about Mozy for off site backup, as it is only 4.95 a month with unlimited storage and it’s encrypted.

I think he means for web design? And if that’s the case I would have to say not really.
