To me Qooxdoo feels much more like desktop programming than web programming, I really don't enjoy HTML/CSS.

Is this:
Code:
var win = new qx.ui.window.Window("First Window");
win.setWidth(300);
win.setHeight(200);

this.getRoot().add(win, {left:20, top:20});
win.open();
really that dissimilar to this:
Code:
#include <QtGui>  
     
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWidget win;
    win.setWindowTitle("First Window");
    win.resize(300, 200);
    win.show();
    return app.exec();
}

With Qooxdoo you even get HBox, VBox and Grid sizers for laying out your widgets and there's a great selection of widgets too. I also like the fact you end up with a one page web app that communicates very easily with an RPC server.
