Does anyone on this list use the wx "layout contraints" stuff that I see
alluded to in various places? Any opinions on how their power and ease
of use compares to sizers?
I glanced at the wiki and mailing lists, but didn't find much.
Also, has anyone on this list used AppKit (from
NeXTstep/OpenStep/Cocoa)? It had "resizing springs" as an attribute of
each "wxWindow". The springs were exceptionally easy to use and covered
most resizing cases. This approach left the programmer with one
containment hierarchy rather than two. A Google search will point you
to a few articles if you're interested: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=AppKit+springs&btnG=Google

My understanding is that layout constraints were deprecated in favor
of sizers. I'm just about done with some basic sizer docs.

Technically more powerful, but I havn't found anything that layout constraints can do that can't be done with nested sizers. OTOH, I havn't used constraints much at all since sizers were added, and didn't use them much before that either.
They are officially deprecated but will probably still be around until wxWindows 4.x at least.

Are they anything like the LayoutAnchors class in wxPython.lib.anchors? Though I expect from the names that they are probably opposites...

There's been a bit of talk about combining wxWindow and wxSizer so there is only one containment heirarchy, but it was basically shot down.
