GridBagSizer

[ncf]

Recently, I came across a presentation about wx.GridBagSizer while
trying to look up more info to use it in an application, however, the
presentation noted "Don't use GridBagSizer. Ever."

Can anyone please explain to me why using GridBagSizer would be such a
bad idea? Or is this only applicable when using XRC?

Probably just that GridBagSizer is complicated and confusing, and you
can usually get what you want more easily and maintainably by nesting
simpler sizers like Box and FlexGrid.
