I would be very surprised to see more than 4 layouters on a form.
Most forms will have a single TTableLayout or TBorderLayout
component, and that's it.
How do you know?
Simple experience.
AFAIR the IDE is a counter example.
Most controls will not have a need for a layouter, but
can rely on the default behaviour (absolute positioning), for which no
layouter is needed.
This case is trivial.
In the few cases that I needed a "layout", it was borderlayout: a grid
which is 'alClient', and a panel with Align=pbottom (in borderlayout speak:
grid is center region, panel is south region).
That's the standard (Delphi) layouter as well.
Inside the panel the controls are arranged using table layout.
So: 2 layouters.
Other application forms (settings dialogs...) contain many more
controls, within multiple containers with specific layouts.
Not to mention prefabricated controls, e.g. with horizontal or
vertical layout.
I don't understand what you mean here.
Many widgetsets support controls for specific layouts. Shouldn't
Lazarus try to use just these controls?
Sorry, but I still don't understand :( Please give an example ?
Look at the gtk2 widgetset.
