That's silliness, and not how percentages work at all. To

widescreens because 95% of some other user base is nonsense.
1) Do you have statistics of dlang.org?
2) Do you think that dlang.org statisitcs will be very different
with world statistics? I don't think so.
3) Do you think that % of 4:3 displays will not drop? In all
world it decrease each month.
I used statistics from my professional sphere, but ok, lets try
google any other.
For example,
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp
1024x768 Jan 2015: 4%
1280x1024 Jan 2015: 7%
1366x768 33%
1920x1080 16%
Other way. Check any shop. How many new monitors 4:3 (or 5:4) it
have, and how many widescreen?
Check, how many new 4:3 models have, for example, LG? One. Asus?
No one. Any other company? Only a few, right? Trend is that % of
4:3 displays goes to be 0 soon.
Opinion. I agree with you, but why alienate anyone? It's not
like narrow websites are unusable. They're just not your
preference. For people like Ola, wide websites are legitimately
unusable.
I did not say that site must be only for widescreen. Keywords:
Responsive Web Design.
To be fair, D's documentation uses a left-side menu, but it
removes the top level navigation (you have to press the logo).
Yep, new design has _same_ solution.
I'd call that more of a design flaw than a feature.
Do you have more good ideas?
