This has been a hot topic for me recently. This article explains how SharePoint Designer can and should be used in a production environment by explaining Assembly Development vs Artifact Development or "Content" Development.
Team-Based Development in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb428899.aspx
Some key points:
- Content Developers can use SharePoint Designer to create and modify content
- Content Developers have the ability to modify the existing production environment and conduct publication using a content management path to the production Web Farm.
- The authoring environment can exist within the production environment
- From a team perspective, the shared authoring environment is more effective than individually separate authoring environments.
- SharePoint Designer artifacts do not need to be integrated with enterprise source control
- Enterprise source control (such as Team Foundation Server) should be used strictly for assembly development in a team environment, while the effort to integrate content management items into source control is not a supported process.
- Attempts to integrate items into enterprise source control that are considered SharePoint Designer content items and part of a content development require extensive workarounds involving manual processes and procedures.
"For content design and publication, a single authoring environment - in which multiple content developers can use SharePoint Designer to create and publish content - can simplify time spent in migrating content artifacts from separate environments into a production environment.

Notes:
To make developing for SharePoint 2010 easier, it is possible to install SharePoint on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7. Note that running production environments on these OSes are not supported and it will not be possible to upgrade deployments running on client versions of Windows to future versions of SharePoint. Instructions on installing SharePoint 2010 on client versions of Windows are a bit more involved and we recommend reading the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869(office.14).aspx.
