Honestly if you question the overall quality of hand-written HTML (by people who care to hand-write it) with the overall output of tools, I kind of wonder what parallel universe you come from.
I've never yet see anyone argue that the reason tools took over the writing of HTML is because hand-written HTML wasn't good enough.
