Bonjour.

Upon spending countless hours around this site looking for code to drag a component around the screen, I noticed an odd trend growing in the answers.

...being that everyone shudders at the sound of the null layout.

So I ask, **what's the problem everyone has with it?** I've been coding for no more than three months, using Swing for no more than one, and the layout has been a breeze to use with endless customisation possible. Why is it bad practice?
