In a way, I do agree with you. There are just not that many good
articles or discussion pages one can skim without scrolling anyway.
For articles, I think if we manage to have a layout where text leaves
space for margins that can be filled with images or other media, notes
and infoboxes, we can hit two birds with one stone: fill that precious
screen space and make the text more legible.
