Panels solve one very large problem for me: putting mixed content (nodes and views, not just blocks) into a single page, and have it be solely in the context of a single page. If there was a non-panels way to do this beyond "redo your site," I'd stop using them. Otherwise, the issues with using it are "it lets you be stupid" and "it's inelegant," both of which are silly arguments from a practical perspective. - Mark Trapp
I'm just now learning Panels and was wondering if anyone knows of any good guides or tutorials? I'm primarily interested in creating dynamic pages based on passing taxonomy info. I have a feeling I can use Panels to reduce the number of views I'm using. - Mark Krynsky
Mark, try: http://drupal.org/node/201914 and http://blip.tv/file/600413. It took a little time for me to grok them, but just playing with them helps. - Mark Trapp
Thanks Mark. I'll check those out. I was hoping for some magical shortcut :) - Mark Krynsky
