User blog comment:Susanolivia/Fixed Width, Sidebar, and the Removal of Monaco/@comment-263490-20101014011219

Have there been a lot of people finding issues with the fact that the width was not previously fixed? Considering that you are setting a fixed with that is SMALLER than the previous content space, I see this being much more of an issue than a benefit. It means that the pages will look uniform but... 1. It means less content space 2. Means wasted space on larger resolutions 3. Makes pages harder to see on smaller resolutions (or in a window) 4. Will force many wikis to redo a lot of templates and infoboxes to accommodate a smaller space

Perhaps it would mollify users if more of the issues that you dismissed were discussed. I know wikis aren't a democracy but it seems like a lot of people are frustrated that complaints don't appear to have any effect on the decisions. Is there anything that has changed for you folks since you started getting feedback?
