Mario,

In my experience, Sizers are the only way to go if you're working
cross-platform.  They make many things easier than Layout Constraints or
(shudder) absolute positioning and OnSize handlers.  

Sizers are a little tough to learn, (at least they were for me,) and they
can be a little obtuse and hard to debug if you get into complex,
multi-layered layouts.  But if you keep things moderately simple and
straight-forward, they really do work amazingly well.

Just my opinion, of course.
