It would complicate a form layout dramatically. Even if the new AutoSize 
may provide according features (dunno), GUI elements with varying heigth 
have to be accompanied by accordingly flexible containers (panels, 
groupboxes...), to be configured by the coder. The average user should 
not have to struggle with such features, that require a sophisticated 
layout of every single form, with unpleasant results when not all cases 
are covered by the design.
