comment What real advantages do web templates such as Bootstrap or HTML5 boilerplate have for a designer?
@Scott I totally get you with learning new markup. That's why I like SASS. It's essentially just an extension of CSS, you don't have to learn a new syntax, just new features you need (like variables or mixins.) Super easy.

@Scott Might be a case of "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" — certainly you can use php to handle CSS variables, but then you're taking an unnecessary performance hit. You can precompile the variables with LESS or SASS. I find LESS easier to read than PHP peppered throughout. :)

comment Vectors: How do you deal with background 'spill' on overlapping edges?
+1 I was going to make a post suggesting using the subtract feature in the Pathfinder palette. Copy the shape, subtract, paste in front with fill. Looks like you covered it.

@tucson A truetype version of Myriad Web Pro Bold (a web-hinted and optimized version of Myriad Pro) is available at the Adobe Store as part of a 12-font bundle for a very reasonable $69. Myriad Pro Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic are bundled with Adobe Reader 7 and 8. In Adobe Reader 9 and onwards, the fonts are included, but not installed in the system fonts directory.

comment What's the difference between saving a vector as .AI and saving as .EPS
You've made a few oversimplifications which muddy the waters. PostScript is not obsolescent, it is the language which is still behind all of these technologies. Level 3 PS does support transparency. Illustrator is still PS based. PDFs still contain PS. The difference is that a PDF is a smarter container format which holds fonts, images, instructions, and other things beyond just the PS instructions. A PDF is simply PS which has already been interpreted by a RIP. Adobe has an excellent page describing PostScript vs. PDF.

@horatio FYI, comments and answers use Markdown so if you don't want to YELL you can simply emphasize things like this.

comment What script font is this found here?
@Lollero Actually, the version of Vivaldi I have has that first particular "g". According to myfonts.com, the URW++ and Elsner+Flake versions of the font has that weird one-story "g", the other foundries have a two-storey "g".
