Why does everyone these days seem to forget that windows are resizable?

FWIW though, I find *everything* freaking unreadable and barely-usable 
on a 16:9 - good for media, worthless for computing.

Text justification has nothing to do with maximum line width. 
"max-width" works perfectly fine with left-justified, too.

And left-justified makes it easier to distinguish individual lines, 
otherwise it's easier to loose your place when reading from one line 
down to the next line. Plus it does suffer from those 
inconsistently-sized spaces.
