Counterpoint: a DOM is just a tree of objects that represent a UI page/window. If you look at, say, QML, there's a DOM as well, and even if you write it in code

Counterpoint: a DOM is just a tree of objects that represent a UI page/window. If you look at, say, QML, there's a DOM as well, and even if you write it in code, there's still an hierarchy of objects. I'm not sure the DOM is the problem.

That's fair! I suppose it's more that DOM+CSS has only recently really started to have broad support for more UI-oriented layout. Things like "make these N boxes all the same width, even if N changes" :)
