If you honestly believe compilers create code as good hand coded assembly, you are fooling yourself. And don't even start me on what happens when you use the word "Include".
And if the results of a "Save to web page" meets the needs of the person choosing to use it, it does work, car analogies aside.
HTML is code in this analogy, and word is the compiler from a higher level "language" no matter how good or bad it is.
Again, you may not like the old site, but it worked. and the old index.html file was 755 bytes. And the total page including graphics was under 60K
Many thousands of web pages are developed and maintained in Word, FrontPage, Nvu, Excel, etc... whether you like the results or not, they work. You can choose not to use GUI editors, that is your prerogative, but those tools work for many, just as your C# or other compiler works for you.
