On a practical level, I find the Properties palette more suitable for adjusting size and position than doing this manually with the mouse.

Sure. You are right. These other methods are good, for sure. But specially for beginners (and lazy old timers ;) having consistent methods seems to me as really important.

I believe that, in an interface level, we should create as few "stories", metaphors, processes as possible. Only the ones really necessary and reuse them in as much different (and relevant) scenarios as possible.

The line under guide line looks to me as one of them.
