Agreed: We need to make a clear distinction for where a "form" (i.e. tabular) 
layout should be used and where not.
I'm not sure about the criteria for that distinction, though. If there is a 
lot of variation in the sizes of a dialog's elements, that's a sure sign that 
a tabular layout does not work well because it would be too noisy.
Tabular layouts make more sense for dialogs with lots of similarly sized 
elements. Not sure if that would be a good criterion, though...
