Anything is better than HTML. Of course "better" depends on the use to

HTML for web pages is a "What You See Is What You *Might* Get" type of
system... For static page markup, it was acceptable, but people kept
trying to beat it into something that it wasn't...

Yes, just like with C. It was intended as a system-level language that
was easier to use than assembly language. And then people started using
it for application level software and things went to heck in a handbasket.
