Roff is actually one of the ugliest markup languages I have ever seen. HTML is actually pretty decent if you think about it. It's (more-or-less) XML, which isn't nice, but I'd take that over roff any day. Anyway, the main problem with the web is the obsession with CSS and JavaScript.
What's wrong with CSS? It seems a decent way for a web developer to describe how they want a web site to look. It even uses plain text to do it.
Thinking about it what I don't like about CSS is that the majority of the web has a white background. Yes, you can try and use custom CSS but then most of the web then looks ugly.
