The sentiment that less space = better annoys me. It's also brought up in defense whenever someone criticizes the HN-Design. The old design [1] only used less space because its buttons were way too small and impossible to understand - Bad on desktop, unusable on mobile. The new design uses more space to clearly label every button and differentiate between actions and information. _And_ it looks better doing it.
