Confusing web designers with web developers seems to be really, really common. And Michael has fallen into the same trap. I can't make a good layout to save my life. I've had far too many calls of people looking for a developer when they really want a designer. All the issues he talks about that happen on the desktop scale. I have to deal with at the server scale. He also compares some lone webdev working out of their home to a programmer working out of an office. When your a one man band you rarely need to document those type of requirements. This doesn't change if you are writing for windows or you are writing for the web. BTW, I do both Windows, Web, and recently Cocoa. I find it frustrating sometimes that getting events right in Winforms can be more tasking than doing the same on the web. I do enjoy having my windows layouts behaving. If you've had to write for IE6-8,Safari,Firefox, and Opera I'm sure you'd agree.
