I touched on it in my LCG talk on UX in October last year.

I devoted a lot of my hour to it in my Android Tips talk last year too. But yeah, maybe you and I could team up and do a one-on-one debate. Someone could set up a rope ring and we could wear boxing gloves. :)

For the onlookers: Richard and I have been friends forever, but I bet we could fake it.

The stretch-or-gap solution FSM provides can be an excellent fit for those

That's where I think you're missing something. Those aren't the only options. Nobody uses stretch (not even Monument Valley) due to the distortion. But you aren't limited to seeing gaps, there are ways to avoid that. That's what my talk covered. The result is closer to what you describe with manual resizing. No gaps, and use of the edges around the stack.

I do agree we should use whatever method is best for our needs, so we're in sync there. But I think you are doing way more work than you need to.
