There is a reason why most editors have "zen mode" which
centers your code on a screen. It's easier to read when it's
centered and not too wide.
You can have the browser window centered on screen and have
your preferred width. It doesn't make sense to have wide window
if don't ever want anything that wide, then every site which
fits the window width automatically has your preferred width,
otherwise the designer would need to figure out everyone's
preferred width and accommodate for that, but how?
I like my browser window maximized, that's how I've been using it
for more than 10 years. And I'm not the only one. For other
windows (editor/chat/etc) I have two additional monitors.
It si true that it's impossible to satisfy all tastes but in my
experience majority of websites nowadays are centered.
But, when I say centered I mean having a maximum width of say
1200px, so that on most common resolutions it will be full-page
website or it will be just slightly padded on both sides. Content
would be left aligned, of course.
On resolutions larger than 1200px in width additions information
could be provided (from both sides, so that content stays
centered and thus in spotlight).

"Sorry, your browser is not supported". I would understand, if
it was an FPS web game, but what advanced technology a
documentation site absolutely can't live without?
Which browser do you use? I've used it only on Firefox (Aurora to
be precise) and it works flawlessly.
That was just an example of how convenient is to have
documentation filtered as you type. I'm not planning to make
"devdoc for d", just to provide nearly instantaneously results as
user types search query.
