Sorry for going meta: does everyone also really enjoyed the formatting (spacing) and font choice of this article? Its so, so good to read here (Win7/chrome) I'm thinking of copying it for my websites.

Looks like it has a color attribute of #333, making the text annoyingly light to me (Linux, Firefox), particularly with the slender font.

I get that black text on a backlit white background has too much contrast for some (many?), but I prefer it to a kind of fuzzy grey.

The font itself and the layout are pretty good, although I'm also looking at it full-screen.

Sarcasm?

Justified, with different spacing between words seems really hard to me. The thin stems also make it hard to read the letters. Finally the column width is not adjustable by the browser (double tap on mobile, or resize window on desktop), which kills readability even more.

Absolutely not. Fixed width is a problem but on Windows I usually have my browser maximized. Are you on Windows (OSX rendering is much different)?
