so you can be totally right brain dreaming up stuff; your mind is thinking only on the look at that point, not whether IE 8 is gonna blow it all out of the water.
Yeah that would be my stumbling block, i'd always be thinking 'ok this looks nice but how will I make it work?' People like me are why they made Bootstrap I guess. Which is odd, since I have a graphic design background originally... but I guess my brain just doesn't like moving between the two modes (or I want to avoid the "turn the psd into html" part of the process...)
It's a long drawn out process no matter how you look at it. The elements of your design have to be broken down and translated into code. Not just any code though, code that works on all major browsers and operating systems. The same change that fixes a bug on Firefox could break your layout on Opera. And you'll need a dozen Virtual Machines to even track down the bugs.

A photoshop design can always be coded into pixel-perfect HTML/CSS. Whether you know how is a different question though.
Good point -- I don't know the efficient way to do that.

I really miss the days when I just had to choose to ignore Internet Explorer.
