Proposal: avoid `Container` objects in the framework #147431

Open nate-thegrate opened 2 weeks ago

Containers have suboptimal performance; there are several linter rules that recommend not using them when you can avoid it.

Ideally, I would like two things to happen:

Add a section to the style guide to advise against using Container objects
Refactor the containers currently in the repository into other widget types.

Even though technically I'm able to update the style guide now, I'm going to hold off, since Containers are the only good option for a couple of things:

Specifying a decoration with a clipBehavior
Automatically applying a decoration's intrinsic padding
