I'd be interested in how a new found focus on design, collaboration and Thermo will affect developers and the roles they play.

I am interested in this as well. My initial reaction to Thermo at MAX last year was to be worried about what Thermo would spit out.

The way I see it now is that Thermo would be best used as a rapid prototyping tool used by designers to allow developers to have more of a head start on building out the application. The developer would benefit in a few ways:

1) A better understanding of what the designer actually wants because it will include transitions, animations, etc.

2) Some of the code should be available for re-use in the application build.

I would really hate to see applications being built and shipped using only Themo as I believe it will wind up with bloated file sizes and an application that don't scale well.
