Yep. I didn't like the fact that I could not increase the size of the menus, having to squint at the screen is just not pleasurable for me. I can increase the size of the terminal and/or emacs as big as my monitor. I'm really not that much of a fan of GUIs/IDEs in general. So I'm thrilled that people find Frescobaldi to be wonderful for their workflow, but it's not a solution for me.
