Why is he so super elitist about "hand coding" a website?

I doubt he ever manually allocated memory in his life.

Being elitist always sucks no matter how awesome you are... but come on we are talking about a webdesign competition, not some x86_64 assembly hacking event. This is ridiculous.

Sublime is probably closer to Dreamweaver than Notepad. I think people who code in Notepad or Vim are nuts.

Sure, it's 'hand coded', but there's some point where your ethics are compromising your productivity.

It'd be like not using a framework because you want your site to have a 'raw HTML' feel.

Yes, this is ridiculous on many levels, so let it be.
