This is a high-brow flame war. The last post bothered me, and this one bothers me all the same. Let's cut the shit for a minute and examine the lay of the land. "PSD to HTML is dead" panders well to developers. But it doesn't make it true. Let's dig a little deeper into why a developer may want to believe that the incredible toolset contained within Photoshop is completely useless and unnecessary: The inability to us…

tl;dr Use Sketch if you're on a Mac I agree with most of your points except this: >>Moving divs around, adjusting CSS or erasing pencil off a piece of paper is never going to be as efficient as clicking on a layer and moving, resizing it, etc. As a visual designer and front-end developer (that knows Photoshop very well), code is actually far more efficient for modern UI's. It's much better organized than the PS layer…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not sure if it is dead or alive. But, the business is extremely challenging with players like cssilize. they charge peanuts with pms and automated quality checks.

Pay peanuts you get monkeys. They charge $19 PER PAGE just to have "permission" to remove their name. That should be all the proof you need of their business model. If you need more though, the "$39 a page" actually ends up being $254 a page, if you want.. * responsive.. * tested/compatible with Chrome, Safari or Opera... * accessible * commented css * commented markup * using a css grid framework * html5 * microform…

FWIW, I had a very good personal experience with CSSilize in last 2 companies here. I can understand why they charge $19 to remove their name (it is a very good marketing strategy, IMHO). But, they're still cheaper with additional $19 and efficient (for instance, the real time updates and ability to "control" the project through their pms are really mesmerizing)
