[Android] How bad is ConstraintLayout?

[Dobbsjr]

I'm a total noob in the Android world, I've only started getting into it a couple weeks ago, and I've discovered that there are multiple different layout types. I've been using ConstraintLayout this entire time, so I went to look at the Android Developer video on it. All the comments are about how bad it is compared to other solutions. What exactly are the pros and cons of the most used layouts?

The ConstraintLayout has the major advantage of allowing you to "anchor" Views to each other. It is slightly more complex to get its contents positioned correctly, but it is worth the additional instructions IMO.
