This module makes far better sense than premade panels for Panopoly
Layout Module

Benefits of The Layout Module Vs Premade Responsive Panels

With premade responsive panels your using the same Responsive layout for Desktop, iPad and Mobile

Layout Module you can customise the same panel for how it displays on Desktop, iPad and Mobile

You get more control over how the layout displays on different devices

I hope that's helpful :)

I think we need something to simply add a new row and some columns for the editor, that would be a perfect addition to the 'construction kit' approach of panopoly.
The flexible layout builder of panels is too complex and nothing I would show a editor of any site.

I agree, panels builder is too complex.

Adding row and some columns is good
providing you can control layout how it display on different devices

For example

You might want a search bar on the desktop version on the right side

iPad the search bar on the top

Mobile search bar hidden

I hope that's helpful :)

I'm still searching for an easy way for an editor to add multiple columns in a one column layout.
i.e. if you want to add 3 columns with teasers in the content, you can change the page layout, but that's not the easiest way for an editor.
It would be much better to add an 3 columns element into the main region and then the content into the columns.

I'm not sure they made this feature yet
but eventually the layout module will do nested region as shown in this video

The Layout module is super cool! However, I think I'm going to close this as "won't fix" - at least for the Panopoly 1.x cycle, which is going into maintenance mode. So long as we're not doing anything that prevents users from installing and using the Layout module themselves, I think we're good.

Feel free to comment or re-open if you disagree! We can always move this to Panopoly 2.x if/when development on the next generation of Panopoly begins.
