It's so obsessed with UX and negative space, even on a 4k monitor at full screen you still only get like 100 characters line width. It's a fucking joke.
Nothing in modern software design blows my mind more than the tendency to replace line-wrapping with truncation and ellipses. It's like designers couldn't get to sleep at night if there were any possibility of their layouts being variable height.
