Reply To: Why don't more sites use max-width: 100% wrapper?

I’d go as far to say that most sites -including the one you referenced- would not look good at 100% width screens beyond a certain size. A huge wall of boxes (or worse, text) is visually confusing. Limiting the width of content areas is often a very practical thing to do, and benefits usability as well (in fact, this is why column layouts exist).
