    photoshop is not for web design, though many of you use it for such.

    illustrator is the best tool for a number of reasons.

    bird's eye view/iteration ease
    use of symbols for global elements, much like sprites
    linked assets update seamlessly
    presenting vector-based artwork vs. raster
    lighter files

    exporting psd's is possible through illustrator, though i'm not sure why you still need this. everything has to be rebuilt with css, and little symbols are made into svg/font symbols so there's really no raster element anymore in web except images.
