TeX offers everything ...
A minipage is nothing else than a box and it is aligned in
the same way as two characters are aligned.
That offer isn't enough. Lining boxes up by baselines is ok when they
actually
contain text - but there is also the need for lining up illustrations.
Lining boxes up by the box top is then useful, but latex then need a
workaround in the form of providing a zero-height line so there
is a "baseline" at the top of the box.
(La)TeX is nice. But neither perfect nor complete.
