As much as I hate the term that they used in the keynote "Dev-igners" it is a nice idea of the renaissance designer / developer. That is good insight Andrew.

I think there will be a period of adolescence while developers figure out the best applications of these new tools. Kinda like when .Net first came out and everyone was using DataGrids everywhere, and gradually the better developers have returned to favouring Repeaters. But that's what design *is*, in part - knowing how to use the tools you have at hand to express your intentions. I agree with your concerns.
