I noticed you mentioned my comment on the original topic, but this new topic doesn’t fully address what I was mentioned there. It’s indeed good that users can pick their default composer mode. My 2 main issues are still:
- The font being used in the markdown
- The constant jumping around of the composer (left to center) when going from markdown to rich text. Maybe some users will never use markdown, but a lot of us will and having the composer changing place all the time, is a bit unnecessary, in my opinion. I rather have markdown where I can see exactly what’s going on, and having a preview on the right.
That being said, the monospace font is really uncomfortable to the eyes (and I’m sure other users agree on that, not just by personal choice, but because it seems like a “universal rule” not to use monospace for reading text).
Maybe some users like it. I’ve seen some crazy color themes for people who code and that hurts my eyes just by looking at them for 5 seconds, let alone spending hours upon hours looking at that screen… But, different people have different tastes, so I believe that giving them the option to pick monospace or sans-serif is important. Yes, I could force sans-serif with CSS, but that would prevent people who want to use monospace to really have that option.
So on my behalf and maybe other users as well, consider those 2 options on a future release to make the experience more flexible and pleasant to all users.
Thanks.
