True, but like with everything else in FlexJS, we are trying to
encapsulate common patterns and make them easier to use.
So for example if you have 3 children in a container and want to make the
first one stretchy, you might have to write:
<Group style="display:flex" />
<Label style="flex-grow: 2" />
<Button style="flex-grow: 1" />
<Button style="flex-grow: 1" />
</Group>
Whereas with a layout you could write:
<Group>
<beads>
<FirstFlexibleChildLayout />
</beads>
</Group>
That way you don't have to remember the names of the styles or look up how
to do it.
Hopefully our Layouts will essentially do just that once Peter's done with
this refactor.
Of course, I could be wrong...
