LOTS of competition with "why did we ever stop using nested element selectors?!" projects like these. Baseline is you have to be better than Normalize, and this isn't.

Was anything but personal preference the reason for changing the link color, the body font to specific typefaces, the font-size to a little smaller than normal, etc?

Links are much worse, no focus, no text-decoration, confusing colors. You have to nail this stuff.

Normalize.css is a general CSS normalizer that caters to all web developers whereas SPCSS is merely my personal stylesheet that does not try to normalize anything at all. So indeed it is just my personal preference that is the reason for changing the link color and the body font.

I believe when you say "font-size to a little smaller than normal", you are talking about "font-size: 0.9em" for pre, code, etc. I have removed it now, so that they now have a font-size of 1em. Thank you for highlighting this issue.
