This might be a dumb question: are there shells that have a HTML-based front and passes commands into the background? Seems like something like that would be far more flexible than this – which feels like a Jenga tower of hacks.
A reminder that the imbalance of 3px may be intentional:
It means that the post is closer to the comments are closer than to the user, and it pulls your eye more naturally to the comments than if they were perfectly equal.
Sometimes asymmetry is a useful design element, too.

Hi, designer here. Sorry about that, you haven't actually been subscribed to a newsletter - you've been put on the waiting list, but we haven't updated the message in the confirmation email. Fixing this now.
Nothing wrong with working hard. But do it for yourself. Don't do it because a VC tells you to. Don't do it because the owner of a publication that thrives off of startup news tells you to.
I also think you're underestimating the usefulness of a tablet form factor when physicians are sharing information with their patients. Harder to do that with a laptop.
The idea is that there are always too many facts and data, and it's a history textbook's job to present a curated set of information that forms an easy to understand narrative.
This often means that perspectives from less influential / marginalized groups are downplayed or even ignored.
Much of postmodernist history is about recognizing that this always happens and that there are always multiple perspectives to a historical event.
Some css resets strip out bullet styles for lists, or focus styles on selected text boxes. I assume this keeps things like that intact instead of nuking everything.
Because you have to deal with multiple browsers, some of which are still in the stone age.

Because you don't have access to the system's full processing power, just what the browser gives you.
Because you don't get pixel-perfect control.
A lot of people who don't like it seem to be missing the point. When I want to create an event, I don't want to launch iCal or navigate to Google Calendar, I want to enter the event in as little time and as intuitively as possible.
Accessing the app from the menubar solves the issue of speed for me, and the natural language processing lets it all feel intuitive and (dare I say) "magical". It just understands what I'm saying.
