Re: PSD to HTML is Dead
#2As a developer I hope that CSS would share a similar fate sometime in the not too distant future. It’s freaking hideous, doesn’t work as it should and in order to build any decent modern site you end up writing something like 5,000 LoC. Nine out of ten times I want to do something with CSS I prefer doing it with JavaScript.

You're doing something wrong then.

Use Sass. Thank me later.

#5tl;dr Most browsers support modern CSS techniques that remove the need for image-based techniques, and mockup tools like OmniGraffle and Balsamiq make it easy to create layout drafts.

When you have modern CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Foundation available, the CSS aspect of a website is arguably one of the least complicated aspects of front-end development. (and better for the users instead of using JavaScript)
Even animations are easier to do in CSS due to CSS3 animation libraries.

Can you provide any examples where using JS would be preferable to you? Maybe we can help?

#9It drives me totally batty to work on projects in which the designer assumes that their only responsibility is to provide a PSD file, which the developers will then turn into HTML and CSS.
I want to work not just with designers, but with Web designers, who intimately understand the workings of HTML, CSS, some JavaScript, and the implications for different browser sizes and versions. Web designers speak HTML/CSS natively, taking these limitations and issues into account when they're creating their designs. And if something needs to change, they can change the HTML/CSS that was created. If the designer only knows how to work with Photoshop, every change to the site requires a great deal of additional work and communication.
I've sometimes remarked that a designer who uses Photoshop, but who doesn't know HTML and CSS, is like a photographer who refuses to actually touch the camera, and instead tells someone else how to aim, focus, and shoot. (And yes, I'm aware that TV and movies work this way; the analogy is far from perfect.) I want to work with someone who lives and breathes Web technologies, not who sees them as just another type of output. I'm glad that this blogger made this point, and has indicated that while Photoshop might once have been acceptable, it no longer is.

Or LESS! I personally prefer that over Sass.
