A Real Web Design Application | Jason Santa Maria
The web and its related disciplines have grown organically. I think it’s safe to say the web is not the domain of just the geeks anymore—we all live here. And those of us who work here should have sophisticated, native tools to do our jobs.

Design isn’t about tools : Journal : Mark Boulton
I’ve always liked to abstract my design process from the tools I use. Photoshop, Fireworks, HTML/CSS, Pen and paper, HTML Wireframes using Blueprint, Omnigraffle—It doesn’t really matter. You use what’s best for your workflow at the time. These are all tools in the same way that a pencil is a tool. They are implements to realise a solution to a problem. You say tomato and I say toe-may-toe.
Stopdesign | Choosing the right tool
However… I consider myself fairly competent in HTML & CSS. But even I am limited in design by starting with code before having a few design ideas fleshed out.
I have advocated in the past that HTML and even CSS are not design tools. They are tools used to implement design. There’s a big difference.
