Yes, that's why I said use it as part of a set of tools. It is useful of course, but over reliance on it as a tool for designing is a continuing issue for development teams all over the world, right now.
People waste a lot of time iterating over pretty pictures and then pass all the hard work to front end engineers to sort out the cruft.
Worse still is when you then get a PM that wants the whole pixel perfect thing to jump through HTML5 hoops. With very little consideration to the time element of design, you are left with a lot of pretty images that you may as well start again with.
In browser designing is not an optional path to take. If it is going to end up in the browser it will have to be designed at some point in the browser, so designers should dump pixel perfect tools like photoshop as their main iterating tool.
Photoshop is still a pixel tool and getting old, Illustrator is now better for interface improvement IMO as it has pixel preview and can output svg too :).
