I played around with this demo; Looked at the code.

What's the big fuss all about ? 

The same things you see there can be easily done in Lazarus ? 
Whether I write - rather obscure - layouting code for the start as 
displayed there, or I write a 'OnResize' event handler and do some 
minor adjustments myself (the improved anchoring of lazarus gets 
you a long way), the fact remains that I must take care of 
the layouting by writing code manually ?

If you had a nice property editor, maybe then it would be better.
Even so, creating a usable property editor for such a complicated 
matter is not going to be easy, I think.
