Do people really mark up internet drafts by hand instead of using tools like nroff or Dr Rose's rfc2629 tools?

You forgot the third choice: no markup. Just use a text editor that can create paragraphs easily. There are many on most platforms.

Actually I didn't forget the third choice; I just should have said "generate" instead of "mark up".

So, if you generate I-Ds by hand, why do you do that? Surely it's more hassle than just formatting paragraphs (section numbers, cross-references, tables of contents, pagination, etc).
