I've begun to suspect the same thing. I'd love to read that article if you can find the link. I'll add "Single-column mode" to my to-do list. I think I will also make the "Large preview mode" default as well for much the same reason. I built the whole thing thinking a lot of thumbnails would be awesome. Which is funny because, now that it is built, I agree that it can be distracting. Oops!

I love the idea, and if you default it to those I agree it will be better. I had the same thoughts of 'i can't focus, nothing looks good to me'.
