I don't think that there is a better option you need to choose between coding manually and using WYSIWYG website builders or other web development tools. For me as a web developer, it IS important to keep myself posted about the new apps I could use in order to accelerate my work process and make it quality. I've been using other tools as well like Mobirise that are focused primarily on building websites with no coding at all. Those tools fit perfectly for smaller projects and projects you don't need to put much effort into.
