You can still find them by reading. The tools may very well catch non-words or common misuses, but will it catch a plurals when there should be a singular, or wrong verb tenses? Excessive wikicode for templates or in-line references is a problem for simple edits. If one sees an error in the normal text, it can be a chore to find it again in edit mode when it is buried in the code.
