Auto-layout debate with my coworker made me ditch fixed frames

Been using fixed frames since 2021, never saw the point of auto-layout beyond simple stuff. My coworker Dan showed me a dashboard he built with like 40 nested auto-layouts. I told him it looked overcomplicated and he just said "mate, resize it and see what happens." I dragged the frame down and everything snapped into place, no gaps, no overlap, nothing broken. Took me 20 minutes to rebuild my top nav the same way. Now I'm rebuilding every component with auto-layout and it feels like a cheat code. Has anyone else had that moment where a simple demo changed how they work? Or am I late to this party?

Fixed frames keep my layouts predictable, but each to their own.
