CSS Absolute Centering

XAML is very well designed, not for the web though. It was designed from the ground up to be consistent with only one implementation, as opposed to CSS, which evolved over the years on multiple implementations. It can get quite verbose since it's XML-based, but at least what you code is what you get.

I feel that CSS is pretty well designed. The problem is that it has so many ways to do the same thing, and the fact that vertical and horizontal layout don't work the same way.

I've not built apps in xaml but I've heard the that its a PITA once your app gets to a certain size and complexity.

I agree, I just think it's well designed and consistent. Plus, CSS can also be a royal PITA, that's why I take refuge in back-end development when possible.
