The typical PSD to HTML approach will evolve over time to {insert-tool}2 HTML. Since web design was a big boost for Photoshop over the years, Adobe is not going to let that audience disappear without a fight. Their Edge tools, such as Reflow (http://html.adobe.com/edge/reflow/) are the response to this trend.

Although typical all-in-one design/developers might prefer mocking-up and developing in straight HTML/CSS, there will always be a large audience that prefers visual tools. The opportunity is there for other companies to fill this need--Sketch.app comes to mind. Frameworks such as Bootstrap, Foundation, Skeleton, etc. also fill some of the demand.

Responsive design is still new to many and designers will still use Photoshop for quite a while.
