The biggest problem I'm having with Jetpack Compose (once getting past all the teething issues with using such a new framework) is figuring out how to implement all the layouts I'm used to in Swing.

For example, simple column and row layouts are really easy in Compose, but I still haven't figured out how to get something like BorderLayout where there is one component which takes up all the space that isn't used by the components around it. I know I can resort to using a custom layout for this, but it really seems like such a common layout shouldn't need me to do that.
