What is wrong with spacing text from borders? padding for tabs, padding and margin text blocks? why so many lines? well, I can answer that: if you put two elements two close and you don't want to separate them you need a line between.
IMHO is fitts-law abuse, but is having everthing stuck together a functionallity I fail to recognize? Both in Cheese Paper and in Manustkript are designed using a compressed UI.

- n3storm 4mo agoIn ancients times when they needed to fit more text within physical boundaries they invented scrolling, pages, chapters, volumes. They even folded maps and other illustration inside books.
- esrauch 4mo agoIt has scrollbars, but there's benefits to having more on an individual page at once. The tradeoff point seems unclear but everyone must recognize some tradeoff there. Foldable maps allow for getting everything on one view by having the final display area be enormously larger, which isn't an option on laptop screens.
