I would say ANY language can lend itself to that. What you're really attacking is the concept behind XML, not MXML. XML and nesting is an ADVANTAGE in my opinion when it comes to layout. It's not great for coding non-visual logic, that's what Actionscript is for. Most Flex developers will tell you they use MXML for UI and UI effects, and they use Actionscript for logic.

The language itself lends itself to spaghetti coding, because MXML can easily turn into nesting hell. , unless the coders know what they are doing. The benefits of Flex databinding and UI are bogus, if you are an OOP programmer reusability exists with any OOP language. In the end it's just a language, so choose what you want.
