Yep, I'd second that as well. Sketching (non-digital: pen/pencil/
whiteboard/paper) has often been my first and preferred tool of choice
for wireframing--laying out elements and exploring compositional
studies of screens/elements--both personally and collaboratively. The
speed, fluidity, dexterity, and breadth of conversation with an
engineer or product manager is magnified by sketching it out first.
It's amazing how much problem identifying and solving you can do at
that level alone! Not to mention generating the volume of layout
possibilities...
Then I use digital production tools (like Visio, Fireworks, etc.)
primarily for professional polished presentations and nice final
deliverables for clients or corporate review committees (and my
portfolio :-)
Hope that helps...

create wireframes at all, and I use sketches for all of the purposes
others use wireframes.
