I think this is only about how much fast you able to translate you brain ideas to images. PS currently is a most faster way to do this (in some cases 'pencil&parer' will be more effective way ).
For example:
imagine randomly curved line which is drew by child;
how is way more fastest to copy it?
1) draw it's copy on different papper with pencil by your hands
2) generate it's copy by math formula.
Also, in some cases make design with HTML/CSS can be most effective way if the 'design idea' has good fit to html "visual language" (because this way is enough fast to make design by this way and it cut off psd2html part of work) (for example site with 'flat' design like HN).
