While I don't your tool has to be Photoshop, knowing design is somewhat significant in web development. I know we're not specifically on the topic of hybrid producers here, but I really believe that a programmer should be able to assemble a design or help create a blended approach to UX while working on a project. "I'm a coder, not a designer" is a poor argument. I use Photoshop daily as well as my language of choice, IDE, JS/jQuery, etc. and I'm no MENSA candidate by any stretch of the imagination. I think if you love web development, you want to be involved in the whole process.
