One thing I like about hn is I can load up a bunch of long comment threads right before I get on a plane and have something to read for the whole flight. Other sites will pull tricks like automatically attempting to reload when I return them to focus, or will have their content smeared across a dozen pages, each filled with heavy images and scripts.

When I first visited HM, my sentiments were the same. 'What on earth is this fucking thing? A site... for developers... that looks like it was written as a HTML text editor without the frills?' Over time my position has completely changed and I now adore HN for the charm of it's minimalist impression. Don't fix what isn't broken.
