Oddly enough, I find it quite pleasant. I'm on a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, and it's really easy to sit back in my chair and read this comfortably in my usual window setup (which is 1/3 web browser, 2/3 terminal, or so)

Edit: ok, at full width on this screen, it looks ridiculous. Definitely works better in a vertically-oriented window.
