Rounded Corners in Illustrator

-----------Why?

Using the rounded corner tool in Illustrator has huge drawbacks.
1. reshaping the box warps the corners
2. making new boxes that are different sizes match is hard.

----------What and How?

Better to use effects>stylize>round corner

If making more than one box, put box into stylize and reuse it on future boxes.
