Having been a professional webdev for about a decade I don't find this surprising at all. I've never worked with a great webdev that used a wysiwyg editor for coding.
Simple code reuse and templating can go a long way toward keeping code consistent and centralized while minimizing repetitive coding.
When things go wrong with your code, as they inevitably will, not knowing what code a wysiwyg editor generated and why can leave you high and dry...
Besides, how can you personally evolve web development practices if you're limited to the widgets a wysiwyg editor provides:)
