If frameworks and libraries count as authoring tools (which I'd say they do), then yes a big part of effort/push needs to concentrate on getting those frameworks to either include ARIA etc automatically, or to at least stress in their documentation and examples what additional attributes need to be set by authors (part of what I've tried to do, little by little, in Bootstrap for instance).
