Editors don't do much checking, validators are needed for that.
Handwritten code stands a chance of generating fewer errors,
and most hand coded errors are easier to find than with
editor generated code. You tend to forget to close tags
when you should have, etc.
Editors tend to generate bloated code, mostly from using span
tags. Span is fine for some things but editors tend to over use
them.
