  They fix exactly what problem? The single problem of the sizing of components on the screen? Great! I did not mention one problem—I alluded to many. What about the problem of people not clicking links? What about the problem of users not understanding how to navigate to events? How about lack of awareness of which of your friends are online? Etc. etc. Media queries fix exactly one problem. The size and position of elements on different sized screens. There are thousands of other things to evaluate in a design that have nothing to do with that. I realize you're focused on this specific issue, but Facebook has to worry about all of them at once. Media queries don't fix everything.

    They could do both (like every other competent UX team does). All of those problems are still their, I was responding to the point made in the post, that they couldn't ship the awesome design, because there are people with little screens... That is what responsive is for, meaning they could have shipped exactly what they shipped PLUS the awesome design (that they themselves, said was awesome). So yes, media queries fix exactly their problem, as they had two designs that they liked, but one was only good for big screens, the other for little screens. To put it more bluntly they had already solved all the other issues (and more) you talked about... just the screen size was the only problem (cited in that post!)
