Don't hesitate to post any issues that you observe. I wrote the new 
tutorial with wx beginners in mind. Without the sizers part, the 
tutorial would not be too much shorter or easier. The good thing is that 
with wxGlade you can easily try out the available layout settings. When 
I started using wx, I had to code the sizers manually and in the 
beginning it was really hard to get it right.

Use wxGlade version 0.9 to start with. It's much nicer to use.

Well, I'm the maintainer. Currently I'm refactoring the internal data 
structure and so it would not be possible to implement and merge such a 
mode in the next months. With the new structure it would be possible, 
but I really don't think that it would be too useful for most of the 
users. Also, I'm quite confident that you will soon prefer to use the 
sizers. (Don't forget that in wxGlade you can do much editing in the 
tree view.)
