Most likely not, but taken from the other perspective, would you use MS Word to edit a text file when notepad is smaller, faster and more efficient?

I might be inclined to agree with you if it weren't for my belief that cleaner and less bloated code simply makes for a better and more efficient end product. Sure, you can use the excuse that bandwidth is cheaper these days, servers are becoming cheaper as the days go on and so forth, but why add bloat to your code, which will likely only bloat more as you modify it later down the line? It's a lazy attitude to have and it certainly doesn't earn you any favours when you've got twenty nested div tags and you can't find where each one ends, or which ones are necessary.
