'Since the web is viewed in a browser, we believe it should be built in one too.' Wait, why?
We strongly believe that the only way to know what something we really look like is to work in the medium in which it will be ultimately be presented in. Anything less will just be an approximation of the final product.

Well, I can't really agree with this. Filming a movie and viewing a movie are two completely different experiences and take place in completely different environments, even if the medium is the same. What you're saying would be like saying all movies should be filmed in cinemas… I think using the browser's rendering engine is great, but there's no reason why we necessarily need to create websites in actual browsers.…
Being inside a browser does not equate to slow, and using photoshop as an example pretty much proves that point.

BTW I'm incredibly impressed, been looking for something that my girlfriend could use as she's just moving into web design. Muse was pretty disapointing(to say the least). I can see this being a much practical solution. Having seen how good it is I can see myself using it as my go to tool for at least prototype designs.

Hmm, at the default zoom level when the page loads the flyouts from either side partially cover the page. What I was looking for was a zoom option in the View menu that zoomed the page to fit exactly between the two flyouts when they're open.
