To use similarly strong wording, I sense an utterly erroneous
presumpton that the designer knows best what suits people they
have never met. People who have totally different combinations
of vision, equipment, software and experience in using it.
As long as we have web designers who want to control everything
and force their own preferences on everybody else, this argument
will remain, long after my children have become grandparents.
For what it's worth, yes, I am guilty of adjusting font sizes
too. And yes, I find that I often have to adjust my browser
settings (usually making text larger as my vision is not that
good) because other designers have gone even further than I have
in this regard.
