Never realized how uncomfortable it is to read a paragraph of monospaced font text, even though I read 1000s of lines of code in monospaced font without any issues.

No paragraphs of comments in your code? ;)

No.. may be my code is just not worth commenting ;)

IMO the only reason why it's unreadable is font size.

It makes the page unstyled

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I enjoy reading in monospace. And I certainly prefer it over a sans-serif font with font-weight set to 0.01 and poor contrast!

This. Bringhurst's fantastic "Elements of Typographical Style" is still relevant.

Agreed. Since it accepts Markdown for blocks of code, the default should not be monospace.

Yeah, it's pretty painful to read. If they are anti-webfonts, I think Georgia could be a good option.

For me the monospace text is difficult to read for longer text because I can't chunk as effectively.
