I'm mostly discussing GUI trends (as a Mac developer who cares about this stuff), using GitHub as an example (which, as you say, gets job done great, but I say that it can be improved).
"You argue"?
Clutter means (let me open the dictionary) "a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass".
I never said only spacing produces clutter. Either I'm not explaining myself clearly or you read something that was not in my comment (this is called a strawman, right?)
No hostility meant by "you argue". You provided a critique, an argument. I'd open the dictionary... ;)
His posts were completely non-hostile, so aren't you overreacting?
The rest of my reply was pointing out how I perceived this to be different than GitX, which was tangential to the point, but I didn't really think a separate reply was required. Sorry for the confusion.
