All native GUI toolkits from the last three decades allow you to reflow elements in the way you describe. Both CSS and native toolkits make it simple to express how elements move and stretch in response to window resizing. Where CSS falls down is anything user-resizable. For example, a split view that collapses instead of cropping a text label. The CSS "resize" property is awful.
