What does "Prototypes that actually look good!" mean?
The thing about prototypes is that if they "look too good" the people who see it forget it's a prototype. Then you get bogged down in details like "why is that button so orange?!?" every time you show it off.
That's why low-fi prototyping tools like Balsamiq are so good... they help you create things that look like prototypes.
There is a point to "Prototypes that actually look good!". If your client does not like the orange button then you have to change it anyway, so better sooner than later.
Anyway I liked them because it's very easy to create and share prototypes.
By the way you can create wireframes if you want to avoid that kind of comments.
