Show me a presentation language that is as flexible and powerful as CSS. Try styling something in a native gui language, or something like xaml, and I guarantee there will be many more curse words.

A lot of people who are shocked with the complexity of CSS aren't saying this after switching from another better GUI environment, they're getting into visual apps after doing backed work.

CSS is not perfect but I'll take it over previous presentation idioms any day.

You're on. I pick QML.

I must admit I'm unfamiliar, but at a quick glance it does look quite nice.

What are some examples of previous presentation idioms you're thinking of? I think I can relate to what you're saying, but I'm trying to think of concrete examples.
