You can manage any widget with any geometry manager.  (You can even grid
a button inside of a label, but god knows why you'd want to)

Sometimes you must use "grid" to get proper layout.  For instance, if
you want to create a scrolled item (canvas or text) with horizontal and
vertical scrollbars, this is the only sane way to do it.
