I don't buy that it's weaker. In fact, I'd say this proves that markup
is distinctly better - just a little harder to do "Hello, world" in.

At best, the simple GUI makes it easier to do something
straight-forward, and then basically lets you drop to the more
complicated form. At worst, it makes it easier to do the very simple,
and nearly impossible to do the more complicated.
