I think an indication of HTML brilliance is to be able to produce a clean, nice-looking, functional page with solid code, no matter what tool you are using.

Yes, there is definitely a 'look down the nose' attitude in a lot of places about WYSIWYG editors. For me, when I factor in time spent, end result, and any necessary custom tweaking, using a combo of a good WYSIWYG and text editor is the best solution.

Javascript (IMO) should be done by hand... HTML can go either way. (As long as you're not using FrontPage... Gawd, that's the ugliest HTML I've EVER seen!)
