HTML isn't the problem - declarative markup is a great way of doing GUI layout, non-web GUI frameworks tend to come up with alternatives that look similar. The problem is CSS, which is a fractal of bad design, broken at every level, from selectors to the box model.

CSS works fine for Text markup. The problem is you get two models one where the Browser picks where stuff goes depending on the browser and local settings, another where the designer makes that choice. You can't have both things exist at the same time, on top of that most designers don't know what they are doing.
