[Lazarus] Does Lazarus have "sizer" or "layout" objects?

Looking "correct" and looking "good" are different things. Most designs,
built with "powerful" layout managers, do no more look nice when the dpi
change, or when elements start wrapping after the form is shrinked.
My experience: Really scalable designs do not deserve sophisticated
layout managers with almost unpredictable runtime behaviour. All other
designs only deserve a sophisticated design tool, and no runtime
management should garble the tweaked design.
