I've been annoyed about this ever since CSS appeared.
99% of what people want to do with layout on normal web pages can be
done with a GridBagLayout-like layout.
Instead we're still fiddling with the idiocies of CSS layout.
And it's not like creating a language for specifying a GridBagLayout
would be difficult with XML; what with it being all hierarchical and
stuff. Which all browsers already have a parser for.
It's just mind-boggling...
