Am I the only one who dislikes that they made all the fonts slightly larger? I'm working on a 1080p monitor atm and I really don't want more screen real estate taken up with no benefit.


If this is your only complaint, I think it's safe to say that they're doing pretty well overall.


Oh, absolutely, I love everything else about the change. It makes the conversation and commits/etc. much easier to follow.


I wonder why in the age of responsive design that on-page or user-settings oriented fontsize adjustment wouldn't be more prevalent.


Or the ability to have consistent tab settings that match your preference.

I like the larger fonts.


Interesting. I'm curious, can you share your monitor(s) setup (i.e., size, resolution, DPI scaling if any, OS, etc.) and the type of work you do please?


Just a regular Ubuntu setup on a 15.4", 1680x1050 monitor. I can read it just fine smaller, but larger is marginally nicer. Oh, and have additional styles set in my browser approximating `* { font-family: Ubuntu !important }` (it's not quite that crude a rule, but that's the gist of it)—I tried the rule for a couple weeks, tried it back the original way for a week or so and very quickly went back to forcing the font.

I'm probably best considered a full-stack web developer; but I belong to the camp that shuns body text smaller than 16px.


Thanks!
