Is their any advantage of learning about the layout managers specially the complex one such GridBag, when we have so many GUI builders available.

Thanks.

GUI builders can only do so much. Plus the code they produce is UGLY!

What if you move from one IDE to another. The code may not be portable. The whole point of using Java is to have portable code.

you roll up at an interview for a great job, they want you to write a sample app,

company policy no gui builders, what do you do?

javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Hello World");

"Is their any advantage of learning" - it's the only show in town.
