I haven't tried them in a while. Most of the problems I had came with
making them tolerant of DPI (large / small fonts) changes. I *do* use
Scaled (because I consider it a feature) but I've learned to avoid most
of the problems some folks seem to have with that. But I could never
get the scaling to work correctly when the stuff to which something was
anchored changed sizes.
