Really? Doesn't it automatically handle all sorts of 'user resized the window' issues? Certainly seems to when coding with SWT, wxWidgets etc.
Well, the problem is that in 98% cases, "user resized the window" is already solved by current layout system. The remaining 1.5% can be categorized as "but it looks ugly anyway". Sure, that useful 0.5% would still be nice to have.

Aren't we effectively living in the old world of dialog units and code that cases around after a WM_SIZE to rearrange everything?
Of course not. Designing resizable dialogs in U++ is trivial. Usually it involves pressing Ctrl+A (to select all widgets in layout) a pushing "Auto springs" button. Sometimes you have to adjust some boundary cases afterwards manually (3-4 more clicks).
