>Other than being US focused it seems like as reasonable unit as any.
...Majority of the world uses metric. People actually do print slides and may want to design it for both printing (where the paper is metric) and display.

- spookie 3y agoWell, that's the crux of the problem though. The majority of the world can't just dismiss it like that.
- kevincox 3y agoBut this doesn't fall under "Hilarious". Sure, ideally the default unit should match locale. But not doing that doesn't seem like they are trolling to me. They are just lazy. The decision isn't dumb, they just targeted their primary audience (even if it is a minority) and moved on. And the authors suggestion of pixel seems worse, even to me living in a metric-first country. I would take inches over px as a default (but give me mm please).
