Most users run full screen browsers. Yes we run full screen browsers across our 1980, 2560 and 3840 screens. There is no way a web designer could or should say "well that's the fault of users". That's just a reality.

Users want a readable-width column in front of their eyes. That is: it shouldn't be full width, it has to have a max size that is smaller. And the column has to be centered because the left edge of a big screen is way too off center to read comfortably.

Agree on the minimalist design being a breath of fresh air though. Just needs a reasonable paragraph formatting and it's perfect.

If you're insane enough to full-screen the web on a large wide-screen monitor, can't you just hit the reader mode button in your browser?

That's a great idea. I always forget that exists (It doesn't help all pages though but in examples like this it's perfect).
