WYSIWYG VS Creationism

I may be showing my hand by posting this entry.  Geek or not?

Recently my web host introduced the WISIWYG (pronounced: wizz - E - wig) -- it's an acronym that stands for "What you see is what you get".  What this means:  You don't have to go through the sometimes frustrating process of trying to master HTML (hyper-text mark-up language).  I don't know how many times I've tried to make a single space list or the line spacing has been all screwed up.    

Squarespace has fully automated all aspects of CSS, links, blocks, colors, fonts, line spacing ... all of it.  In some ways it's a little upsetting.  Now ANYONE can have a web page that looks like mine or ... EVEN BETTER ... without knowing how to write a single line of code!  THE HORROR!

It feels like what I imagined it would have felt like to be really good at math and then the calculator came out.

Here's the question:

Do I walk into the light ... stop honing my geek skills ... and start improving my site design with other people's creations that have been put out there as "WYSIWYG plug and play".  Or .... should I continue the laborious process of original creation?   

I like the idea of writing code ... however, this WYSIWYG is a lot faster.
