It depends on what you are doing. If you are building a site where the material is coming from a database and gets processed through a series of transformations, poured through a set of templates, you need to understand what the underlying language is doing.
Until recently, I'd really been stumped on when to use a <div> tag and when to use a <span>.
CoffeeCup, or FrontPage, or QuantaPlus isn't going to explain it to me.
Once you have a good grasp of the theory, using the tools to generate the grunt code to get it done (provided they don't generate junk for code) is not a bad thing.
