Couldn't put me finger on it (Score:1)

I've had the same feeling about HTML for a while but had never thought to ascribe the ease of use to it's declarative nature. But it makes perfect sense now you've said it :) Reminds me how in awe of LaTeX I was when I first started using it.
The challenge that interests me is adding a couple of helper technologies to the HTML - a little bit of Javascript and a little bit of SQL working together with some backend Perl code to create something more pleasant and more productive for full blown GUI development than .NET...
