From my experience, frontend tests break easily in unexpected ways e.g. div moved by an inch? Error - element-not-visible!

Depends on your definition of frontend tests. TDD alleviates these workflow problems for javascript (the actual code of the application). But using automated tests for the UI layout is gonna be a bad time. As @davemo mentioned, this post seems primarily directed at a designer's workflow with CSS and less about javascript development.

Ah yes true. I glossed over the CSS bit and just took in the javascript bit. I don't think TDD would fix a CSS workflow.
