This is quite an interesting argument...
I work for a large branding agency, we design plenty of high end websites. I quite often design the front-end look and feel of the site in Illustrator OR Indesign. This makes sense, because as a designer, I use these programmes to create the best graphic layouts - be it for print or for online. What half decent graphic designer would ever use fucking Photoshop for a nice page layout?
I then hand those files over to the studio team - btw they are a PRINT studio team. They convert them to photoshop, make sure the pixels are all lined up properly etc. And boom, you have a great looking site - designed in Indesign or Illustrator. The photoshop part is merely part of the production process, and only there to make sure that it can be developed properly - it has nothing to do with the creative part of the process.
I see no problem with this method, can't understand why everyone is kicking up a stink about designing websites in Illustrator or Indesign...
