It’s just that it’s very seldom you are in actual mutual agreement because a 
modern web site will not look like the comp. It’s more fruitful to be in a 
agreement of functionality and use case fulfillment. It’s not important that 
the client is satisfied per se, it's the customers of the client that should be 
the focus. If I notice early on the client don’t get this I turn down the 
client. I’m not in the business to sweet talk my clients to satisfy their egos. 
It’s their results that counts and I try to make that clear from the beginning.

In addition working from a comp is very much slower than hand sketches and fast 
coding.

> If you are not a designer then designing in the browser may be more beneficial
If you are a designer working in the browser is more beneficial as well, as 
this practice doesn’t exclude design in any way. Of course, a skillful designer 
that prefers comps may still do a great job. Any developer/Designer can choose 
their tools as they want. But no-one should do it because it’s convenient, but 
because it’s the right fit for them.
