The framework supports both dp and dip, there's no reason to get rid of either one. As for weight, ignoring the height/width is not a solution. The weight is used to distribute the remaining empty space, and the remaining empty space is computed by looking at the width/height. The combination of width/height is also useful to impose a minimum size. For instance width=200dip + weight=1 means "take at least 200 dip and then the remaining space if available." This is extremely powerful to create UIs that scale nicely across multiple form factors.
