I prefer sans-serif too. I feel like it's easier to recognise simple shapes than shapes with lots of extra lines distracting the eye. But that could just be rationalisation for a learned preference. Reading is quite a recent development in evolutionary terms - the first evidence of writing is from about 10k years ago. I wonder if different people might learn to do it using different neural mechanisms, some of them helped by serifs and others hindered.
