Because they write *valid* and legal html without the end user needing to
know anything about html. They are also good for doing rapid-prototyping
and Dreamweaver is also helpful for writing dhtml.

It is trivial to go back and forth between these programs and the hand
editor of your choice. They won't mangle your source. They don't use
proprietary markup. etc.
