I'm happy to hear that the work of designers and artists are being further polarized and the identity of a designer is being arranged into a standard of quality work.
Unfortunately, I still run into the problem of employers not understanding these concepts. I think too many people still recognize designers as pixel-pushing monkeys. The problem with that is that the designers you should fire end up being the ones that stay on because they make things look pretty and just try to do what makes the management happy rather than what's best for the user. So, until that mentality is also changed, we are still going to have some struggles.
First, I gotta say: hell, yes.
