At least it's hard to figure out something that pack can do and grid
can't.
Imho it's better to use grid, if you cannot setup your layout with
pack without using extra frames. To tell the truth, I hardly ever use
pack at all, as far as I can see, the only advantage of pack is that it
takes 2 or 3 extra lines of code when you want to replace pack
(fill='both', expand=1) with grid.
