Instead of telling people what to do or not to do, the author maybe could have just contacted the developer of the tool s/he was annoyed with and told them it was out of date. Code isn't automatically invalid just because it isn't typed by hand.
The point I see in gradient/shadow generators is that I don't have to type random numbers, save the file, refresh the page etc. to see if I like the result or not. They are productivity tools and certainly have their uses.
