I like how the side-bar goes away instead of making the text column  
uselessly small.

The font shrinking is slightly off-putting, but I think having the font  
grow when the window is expanded is somewhat useful. To be sure, the last  
level of font shrinkage could be done away with.

But I agree with Aleksandar, that having the text in a window expand as  
far as my very-wide monitor will go, is not helpful. Things are hard to  
read when they get too long.
