> One thing that they do differently from me is to jump straight into HTML+CSS for their Mockups. I still think that’s too time-consuming compared to using Mockups to flesh out your UI ideas.

I totally agree with you.
I’m building a Cashflow App right now, and I came to the same conclusion.
Mockup is the best tool I ever used to quickly design application screens.

As a user of Balsamiq for a heavy-duty Flex/Flash site, I can tell you that doing the mock-ups is they way to go!

Not only did it help us get the design ideas on paper quickly (a couple of hours), but it brought up issues that we would not have “noticed” if we just spec’ed out the concept in words.

This tool is worth its weight in silicon!

Keep up the great work.
