I wish more web apps would give a bit more choice on information density and layout - remember desktop software 15 years ago? You change all the colours, fonts, layouts (sometimes) so it suited you. White space is great for new users to help not overload them, but after a few weeks of use, most should be able to go to their options and change the layout to save all this pointless mouse wheel scrolling. I am impressed at the responses in this thread - I honestly thought I was in the minority about this, but hopefully the fashion moves a little more towards functionality
