I though it was FreeHand. Maybe someday

I hoped to hear someone finally ported Xara LX [1] to Cairo...

Looking forward for this as well. I've used Xara Extreme version 4 (released around 2008) couple of years after they have released Xara Extreme LX, and I've still got the CD with me. It's probably the fastest and the most intuitive graphics editor I've used. It seamlessly managed to integrate raster and vector graphics editing for the masses.
Oh that brings me way back. Got my start in dev idly editing websites in Macromedia Homesite and Freehand and Firesomething. I figured Adobe already killed off the MM stuff.
Macromedia Fireworks, I liked that one!
I still use the final version Adobe released - it's a damn shame as it is the perfect mix of pixel and vector for quick day to day editing and web layout design.
Freehand, Fireworks and Director all great Macromedia programs killed by M'Adobe. RIP.
It was brilliant. I blame the emergence of flat design on the death of Fireworks ;-)
Holy crap, this brings me back. I'll setup a Windows XP image with Macromedia stuff and indulge myself in amazing nostalgia. Thank you for the ticket.
