Not using autolayout is an even better experience so far for me because: - autolayout was released when it was not ready and so while it's supported on some earlier OS X versions, it does not work correctly on them: slowness, different behaviors depending on the OS release, etc. - autolayout still seems unpredictable when you think to have understood how it works and some error messages are written in Klingon. - for simple cases, autolayout is not simpler than resizing masks. For complex cases, it's more complex and time consuming than writing the layout code to deal with these complex cases. - you still have to use intermediary subviews to deal with complex cases. The only thing that isreally missing with resizing masks isthe ability to center a view vertically or horizontally in its superview. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
