there are a few things with regard to layouts which are very difficult with Web technologies (and aren't getting any easier, either) but which are almost trivial with classic graphical user interface toolkits, and of course there are cases where the roles are reversed.
I've written quite a lot of desktop gui apps, and I don't think I've ever felt the need for free-flowing widget layouts. To say that a desktop gui api is severely lacking without this feature is somewhat overstating the case. Also, I think that proportional resizing is overrated. In my experience, either it's sufficient to just resize one pane and keep the others a fixed size, or you really want user control over the size of each pane individually. Proportional resizing is a compromise that just ends up annoying me. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
