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.
