This thread actually points out more problems with Adobe than it does with peoples workflows.

I mean you look at the feature list for PS CS6 and a whole bunch of them are aimed at UI design in Photoshop, when they already have 2 tools better for that same job (Well 3 if you count Illustrator).
"Path snapping"......... should it not have done this in the first place if it was meant for web design? But instead we have the quite clumsy vector mask with layer styles on to create buttons which can slip to sub pixels and have to be manually resnapped. So then you get designers who can't be bothered doing that so they make all their buttons using bitmap masks and manually marquee select then fill/delete to change the sizes. Watching people work like this is like nails on a chalkboard to me, I honestly can't believe people design UIs that way and not wonder there might be a better way to do all this.
In FW with the keyboard resize addon if I want to make a button 10px wider I select it and press option+shift+right, no zooming in and selecting right vector handles then shifting them manually or editing bitmap data.
