When I started quite a few years ago most of the wysiwyg editors did put tons of bloat code into the pages and the worst problem was I did not understand the code so I was forced to learn the basics , I think if I was designing websites for clients today I would more than likely go to wysiwyg and of those around I think DW is by far the best , I have played with it and if you understand the code you want you can get it to create streamlined sites ( But takes some time to understand how to use it well because it is still designed for ease of use ), most of those I come across who use it do not understand the underlying code which is why it gets such a hard time.

added so for the OP original question , I think he would do well to learn how to use DW and get the best from it
