I just want to revisit this to say thank you.  I had never heard of scss until this email and now I can't imagine life without it.  I've wanted variables in CSS for the longest time and the ability to nest your classes makes the file so much easier to read.

For design and layout, I use a web designer.  :-)  I am profoundly not artistic.  That gives me the HTML and CSS.  Then I break that down into components in WebObjects using the Component Builder in WOLips.  Those components are then re-assembled into pages.  If you are making full pages in WO, you are doing it wrong.  :-)  Because of the component nature of the web UI, WYSIWYG editors are not really practical in development (e.g. it would be really hard to write one that would be useful).  I have found Xyle Scope (http://culturedcode.com/xyle/) useful for debugging and tweaking CSS.  A CSS framework like blueprint (http://www.blueprintcss.org/) can be very useful.  Also have a look at Compass and Sass (http://compass-style.org/, http://sass-lang.com/).

What do you use to build the web interface for your WO apps? Eclipse? DreamWeaver?  Is there any sort of agreed upon 'best practices' regarding building complex UIs?
