If they're there, why should they not work well, and why should I not use them? Using tools like that does not diminish your ability as a programmer, just like refusing to use tools like that does not somehow make your e-penis bigger.

Sure, use them but in most cases using WYSIWYG tools you get a lot of extra garbage then if you write the layout by hand,especially with html. GUI tools are great for new developers though, they can build a GUI fast and learn the under the hood markup gradually, I am not sure if there is such a good GUI tool that makes good markup without the developer understanding under the hood.
