Sometimes simplicity is more important than expressiveness, when the scale is small. See markdown for an example.

So I for one like this super-compact and simple language, it's good for making simple interfaces quickly. It's unlikely to break in subtle ways on mobile, or so I hope.

Internally a solution like this may use CSS grids, flexbox, or any new hotness that makes thing easier to implement.

Of course this is going to get ugly, or outright break, if used at a large enough scale. But very often you manifestly do not have a large scale, and never going to.
