How else is percentage based UI sizing besides DoubleBinding(s)? Isn't 
column restraints just the same thing but aligns everything to a column?


I have to ask(again) as to why minWidth/maxWidth, minHeight/maxHeight, 
prefWidth/prefHeight aren't read only if this is going to be an *always* 
realistically going to be an issue.

This works for the buttons/scrollpane but what about the subcontent? 
TableView's scrollbars also glitch out in the exact same way.

SceneBuilder's lack of UI snapping compared to Netbean's Swing builder 
makes it incredibly difficult to get anything remotely pixel perfect 
without banging your head against a wall. Separate controller classes 
and FXML annotations everywhere isn't really desirable either. I 
originally entertained the idea of doing it all in FXML only to quickly 
discard the idea.


It's my understanding that FXML has to be converted to Java in the end 
anyway so anything done in FXML should theoretically be possible in 
Java. Is that not correct?
