Using Balsamiq Mockups feels like you are drawing, but it’s digital, so you can tweak and rearrange controls easily, and the end result is much cleaner. Teams can come up with a design and iterate over it in real-time in the course of a meeting.

I love Balsamiq mockups! Use it almost weekly! However, software UI tools don't seem to solve the 'first ideas' or 'napkin drawings'. For some reason, I can't bring in software until the idea is a little more clear, since all UI software (incl. Balsamiq) only allow pre-set controls.
To solve the early stages, I use: http://www.MockupMagnets.com Very fun magnetic UI widgets for prototyping on a whiteboard. You should try them!
