This actually looks more comfortable to me. The biggest issue I run into is bumping knees because I'm in a middle seat with two other people 6'+. This completely solves that problem. Now the fact that you're looking back at other people's faces like the worst elevator manners is a different kind of discomfort...

There's also nowhere to put your arms/elbows on that design. (Which is fine if you're a robot that doesn't lean or move.)

  Having relatively wide shoulders, the "fight" for the arm rest was always one of the most annoying aspects of flying. This layout would get rid of all the shoulder and arm bumping, which would be welcome.

    Right. So now everyone rests their arms on their neighbor's thighs? Look at that diagram again. If you think fighting over armrests is bad, this is way, way, way, worse.
