Yes, if the image is static.

I agree, imperative painting can't replace snazzy graphics. But if you're not a designer, allergic to graphics software, or simply just doing an initial prototype that doesn't have to look good, some rudimentary painting can be very handy even for static ui components. Otherwise, why not remove Rectangle? Surely you could always use a better-looking Image instead? And if you want something dynamic and it's beyond the scope of a BorderImage, you have no choice anyway.
