I use Anchors a lot. They're nice if you don't want your components to
cover all existing space, but should resize with their parent (or keep
constant distance to the borders).

If you have this simple scenario (please use fixed width font):

+------------------------------------------------+
| |
| +------------------------------+ +-----------+ |
| | Edit1 | | Button1 | |
| +------------------------------+ +-----------+ |
| |
| +------------------------------+ |
| | Listbox1 | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| +------------------------------+ |
| |
+------------------------------------------------+

I set Edit1 to Left,Top,Right, Button1 to Top,Right and ListBox1 to
Left,Top,Right,Bottom. That is not so easy to do with Align, unless you
use a range of panels to cover the empty spaces.
