It has a simple and clear interface that would save tens of lines of code in manual resizeFcns. My only thought for its lack of popularity is that it appears to only be used for programmatically developed GUIs and not those developed in GUIDE. An expansion of this to be able to work with GUIDE would be most useful. I would expect you could use each uicontrol's 'userdata' field to store the alignment properties and have a master resize function that can be set to the root Figure to align all controls as desired.
