Photoshop doesn't work

This sort of rant can and is used in a lot of different contexts. For example, one could rail against using Microsoft Word for web stuff almost with a straight search-and-replace. One could rail against Word for tech documentation with only a few edits.

So, does some underlying flaw, world view or mathematical truth cause the rant similarities? Or is it just proprietary software?

So "Photoshop doesn't work" because new-standards-compatible browsers can create animated content on the fly? Why not compare Photoshop to other ways to create pixel-based, fixed-size graphic images? After all, that's what it's designed for, not standing in for HTML5.

When all you have is a hammer...

The right tool for the job is HTML, CSS and JavaScript, because the right tool needs to handle structure, style and behavior.

A bitmap image is a poor abstraction for a document (then again, a document is a poor abstraction for an application, but it's going to be a while before we overcome that hurdle).

Title is a bit extreme, yes many elements of web design are now created without the need to photoshop, but I won't conclude that "photoshop doesn't work"
