    Description

      If you design user interfaces with Qt Quick you run fast in the limitation of the box model. You have margins for anchors but they are not working for layouts. You work around it by using wrapper items to provide a box model. This ad-hoc solutions leads to code which looks different for the same pattern which is increase reading time and decreasing performance.

      This workaround pattern can be especially quite costly if you are writing a delegate.

      So what about adding something like the the old internet explorer box model(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_box_model_bug). The css box model would change the behaviour to much.
