Coming from Windows Forms this is especially important. Windows Forms 
doesn't have a sensible geometry manager. Tkinter and PyQt / PySide both 
have them, and it's quite a change at first. But in the long run it's 
much more comfortable to put your controls into layouts (or pack / grid 
them - tkinter) instead of placing each and every thing yourself.
