Ed's been the one getting sizers implemented, but IMHO I think grid
sizers suck. All of them. I much prefer to be in complete control of
everything by using nested box sizers. Admittedly, those get kind of
ugly to work with in code after a few levels though.
IMO, they have one strong use case: the typical layout of a label on
the left, and a control with an associated value on the right. They make
adding that layout so much easier both when coding by hand and when
using visual tools. But beyond that I don't use 'em much.
Yeah, but as soon as you want a third column for one of the rows, you
could be kind of screwed. Admittedly, my method of embedding box sizers
makes that common layout a bit more difficult (to get everything lining
up) - you gotta just pick an absolute fixed size for the labels to get
the alignment to work.
