The GM is good for what it does, but it can't anticipate all

Writing one's one geometry management is so simple that I never
understood why RunRev saddled themselves with writing 40k of GM
script just for a subset of needs.
Well, if it's that useless and flawed why don't they just get rid
of it? Seems like something a newbie would use and then end up in
a panic cos all their objects disappear into outer space! At the
very least it should come with a stern health warning!
It would be helpful if the docs for the GM noted its limitations,
and included some sample scripts on how to use the resizeStack
message directly if needed.
Dropping it may be a bit much, since a number of people rely on it
for relatively simple layouts, but deprecating it may be an option.
What sort of layout were you working on that riggered this "panic"?
I very simple resize of some fields and move the button at the
bottom. Had everything ready for a demo and then they said, could you
just.........
All I wanted was to quickly have something that just worked, but I
couldn't risk all the object flying off into outer space, so in the
end bodged up something for the demo.
I'd like something that was half way standard that I could use in all
my scripts.
All the Best
Dave
