I am left wondering why this new layout system? Maybe it's great, but why was it introduced? To solve something that can't be solved without it, I suppose?.. Would the current container-based layout system be deprecated in the future in favour of this one, or would both coexist? I find the current container-based system easier on newbies, although this spring layout system does sound promising for more complex layout needs. Moreover, with recent canvas discussions, this layout system at first glance looks promising for controlling layout of canvas items, especially since the same mechanism could then be used to layout both canvas items and regular widgets.
