I found XAML to be a bit complicated, too, at the beginning, but once i got used to it, i found it to be pretty simple (once you know the basic controls). One of the best things about it is Databinding.

Binding controls to Commands and properties of a viewmodel can completely separate presentation from design, i usually have not a single line of code in my code-behind. That makes my ViewModel/business logic objects easily testable and completely independent from any visual representation, which in turn can be easily replaced.
