So I'm slightly embarrassed to ask this because it seems so rudimentary but ever since beginning iOS development (about a year of self/internet teaching), when not using storyboards, I have relied heavily on frame sizes and used auto layout very sparingly. In Objective C I find myself in situation where I need to use Auto Layout more often but with Swift I can animate a frame's x and y origins, its center, etc... I have never run into a situation where I could not accomplish what I want with frame sizes and pixel locations alone and I have done some fairly complex view work. My question is, what are the benefits of using Auto Layout rather than frame sizes and pixel locations? I would hate to miss out on some great performance benefits due to ignorance and habit. Thanks so much!
