In my experience frontend editors that designers use generate horrible code. Just as it is turtles all the way down. For frontend editors it is tables all the way down. My first web job was modifying CMS. Someone would tell me put a green box here with inputs for this and that. Then it would go to a designer to change the fonts, and get rid of the square corners. Then the guy would want it moved 5px to the left so it would come back to me. The gut wrenching horrors that would follow still give me nightmares till this day. Everything the designer touch would be placed in a table inside another table inside another table all surrounded by a table. This wasn't just the case with "designers" tools either. I believe windows web forms did a similar thing. It is difficult to generate human readable code that stays up to date with the latest trends. That is reliable enough to work across the spectrum that is the web covering everything from multiple os, web browsers, screen sizes, pixels, and etc. The few that have try were either brave or foolish to believe that they could take on a beast such as frontend, and still be around to tell tales of taming the beast.
