I didn't intend to imply any need for guilt, and the "'fess up" was directed at both those who do and those who don't.

I am a visual person by nature, so it's nice that I get to see what I am working on while I do it. There is no way that I can look at a pile of text and 'see' how it's going to be layed out.
That's what I use Photoshop for. Well, one of the things, anyway.

The one time I loaded a mod into the UI Builder, I found myself looking at a grid with a bunch of semi-transparent colored boxes on it. In the few minutes I played with it, I couldn't figure out any way to turn that into an actual picture of what the window was supposed to look like, and I wasn't sufficiently worried about it to actually bother looking for the manual (which I'm sure is in the EQ2 directory somewhere).

*Shrug* To each his own.

As I said, I didn't intend to imply that there's anything "wrong" with using it. Far from it. I'm just curious how many do, and how many don't, especially in light of a comment I read in passing yesterday stating that it apparently hasn't been updated to reflect the new fonts yet.
