I'm not sure I completely agree with that. You can scroll windows applications too. You can scroll Photoshop images too. But another thing that is often overlooked and is very different from designing a Photoshop image or a Windows screen or even a paper publication, is that the designer is not the boss. If a designer designs a magazine cover the buyers have little choice but to accept that it looks the way it looks. But if a designer designs a website in a way I really dislike, it is a click of the mouse and his stylesheet is out of the door. A developer might have more room to lay out a website, but he has less control. On my computer, the one who ultimately decides how websites look is me.
