I mostly agree with you. Many UX professionals I have worked with are almost proud about the fact that they don't have hands on experience with software development or visual design. They are the worst of both worlds. That being said, I don't think that a UX designer should spend the average day working on the nuts and bolts of development. A structural architect builds models and then collaborates with someone with more expertise who is in charge of the real building process. The comparison isn't perfect, but I think that as our industry matures, it will more closely resemble that. UX architects need a better modeling tool.
