Hi, I think design is a subjective term. It depends on person-to-person preferences. So there will always be a big room for improvement. WMF's Readers web team is already working to improve the design. They did research and implemented new designs. We should always cooperate with them by giving feedback so that more improvement can take place. Currently, this team has 14 team members and consists of 3 UX Designer/Engineers. So saying that they are not big enough is not good. Please keep in mind that a big team is not always a good idea.

Hi Galder, Have you ever seen Vector skin version 2? See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements, You can adopt new versions from your preferences. Some wikis like French Wikipedia, Bangala Wikipedia, etc., already aptoted this new version for their default interface.
