Web design vs. Desktop app design - a discussion.

[midrange]

We prefer readability over file-size savings when it comes to maintaining existing files. Plenty of whitespace is encouraged, along with ASCII art, where appropriate.

At least 45% of my development time is spent "drawing" barely comprehensible postman's hats in ASCII in the CSS files. I think in future I will just copy and paste.

Edit:

Didn't know this actually, though it's in Eric Meyer's CSS reset that I use.

Additionally, unit-less line-height is preferred because it does not inherit a percentage value of its parent element, but instead is based on a multiplier of the font-size.

Nice link.
