I did not say markup languages were bad. Just that HTML is. With WPF I can access the code behind the tag since they are written against the .Net framework. If I do not care for the way a tag behaves, I can extend it and provide my own functionality or mute default functionality. The same can be said for Flex(using ActionScript) or Silverlight(a subset of WPF).
With HTML, the tags behave one way, and if you do not like it, you must bludgeon it with Javascript to produce functionality that you would like.
