Honest question, why should a developer need Photoshop and Illustrator?

I thought .psd mockups and HTML slicing were a thing of the past, and vector work (logos, etc) should be done by a graphic designer. Not to mention most icon/graphic assets can be provided by Bootstrap or FontAwesome.

I still receive some .psd but Gimp opens them and I can slice the parts I need and save them to png or jpeg.

No vector logos yet, but if they give me a .svg I can view it directly into the browser.
