    to each his own I suppose but I could see "designing" directly with code being quite a limiting and messy experience. I'm for separating out the two halfs - even if you do both, the design process between you and your client is more fluid and open to change and variation if its in mock up till sign off to move to prototypes. What if you're half way through coding your design and it has to change fundamentally? you have to rip up your code and you're far deeper into a problem than if you had been working in photoshop (or Illy, if you are a flash head, though with Flash a drawing tool too, I can see how you could jump straight in there - I'm not so its not my place to pontificate).

    Great example of how arrogant some people are in promoting how cool and genius they and their methods are on here, this thread. That's a fair constant of NT, nice to see its survived the rework.
