I actually disagree with this. I typically use Illustrator to mock things up before going into CSS /HTML.
The reason I do this is that when I’m in CSS /HTML mode, I feel like I’m more limited in what I can actually design. When I’m in Illustrator, I have the freedom to explore different design elements that I might have overlooked in CSS . I’ve solved many hard design issues in Illustrator that would have taken me many back and forth tweaks in HTML and CSS .
The one thing I agree on is that Photoshop is a bit awkward for mockups. I only go into Photoshop before rendering design elements into pixels.
