Not using autolayout is an even better experience so far for me because:
- autolayout was released when it was not ready and so while it's
supported on some earlier OS X versions, it does not work correctly on
them: slowness, different behaviors depending on the OS release, etc.
- autolayout still seems unpredictable when you think to have
understood how it works and some error messages are written in
Klingon.
- for simple cases, autolayout is not simpler than resizing masks. For
complex cases, it's more complex and time consuming than writing the
layout code to deal with these complex cases.
- you still have to use intermediary subviews to deal with complex cases.
The only thing that isreally missing with resizing masks isthe ability
to center a view vertically or horizontally in its superview.
