DW can be used to create equally clean HTML as hand coding (this cannot be said for all editors).
That, I suppose, would depend on your definition of clean HTML. If by clean HTML, you mean HTML3.2 then yeah, I'll agree. Well sort of, DW(I have 4) doesn't, that I could find anyway, have a mechanism to add a DOCTYPE(and doesn't by default) which if you have read the specs are required to meet a spec. So assuming you add one by hand, DW creates HTML3.2, maybe 4.0 Transitional, if you are careful and do NOT use anything that inserts <font> then maybe 4.0 strict, XHTML is out of the question. Now I have no proof that by adding a DOCTYPE that the DW markup would validate even to HTML3.2, but I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.
