hsl is however a part of the css3 spec, so sooner or (probably) later we'll actually get to use it in the real world.
As someone whose background is in the visual arts and not computer programming, i must say that hsl is generally the easiest color system for me to produce results I am happy with. I find the 'interface' is much more intuitive, the results more predictable. How would you go about desaturating a color in RGB? Figuring a triadic color complement?
