I am a designer first and a developer second. Sadly I can not relate with your statements at all. A web designer who has no clue what VCS is, does not think naming matters, hell still uses inline CSS, is a poor designer in this day and age.

Agreed. Also, they missed the worst class of designer - the one who lives in Photoshop and doesn't do any build at all.

The biggest problem with these people tends to be irrational demands for pixel perfection, and the remedy (usually) is to explain that no real user will be comparing the site side-by-side in 3 different browsers.

Project managers often suffer from the same "where's the drop shadow?" problem.
