Grid and Box (linear) are the most flexible, but there are others that come in handy too. GTK has quite a few [1] including a scrollable, a notebook, hor/vert panes (where the user can adjust the size between the two panes), and so on. Once again, Ranting Rick is asking for all tools to be destroyed except his preferred minimal set. I think this strongly suggests that Rick is, in point of fact, either brain something'd (keeping this G-rated) or an orangutan, because the ultimate end of his logic is coding in either Brain-*[2] or Ook [3].
