Actual software code produced automatically is usually ugly and inefficient. HTML produced by a tool may or may not be effective. Try a tool and look at the source. If the tool uses deprecated stuff extensively, it's not being properly supported. If it uses tables for layout, say, it belongs in the trash. You might buy a $2 drill off a sale table in a schlocky place, you would probably get what you paid for. I have little doubt you would evaluate it for performance. Do the same for your layout/programming tools.
