Or for people with high resolution monitors who dislike the fact that a lot of web pages have more white space on the sides than they do content in the middle when their browser is fullscreen or close to it.
Granted, I realize that making any specific column of text too wide hurts readability, but most sites could benefit from being more multi-column (size permitting) and getting some of the ads and other non-text elements out to the sides more.
Going to a website and seeing one fixed bit of content at 1024px or whatever in the middle is so very lame. I am glad to see some websites starting to move away from this, and now that working examples can be seen hopefully other sites will be shamed into following suit.
