I actually really enjoy the layout. I think changing the color scheme to make it a bit easier on the eyes would certainly be an improvement.
I'm not a designer, but one possible improvement would be to cap the width of the text regardless of browser width.

While I agree, to a certain point (depends on the width), not everyone likes this.
It's very weird that the only real customizable part of this site is the background color of the topbar, and that's a perk that requires karma.
I once attended a seminar by Balaji Vishwanathan. He said in that seminar that once he had the opportunity to meet founder of HackerNews, and he asked him why he doesn't do anything about the look and feel of the site? The founder replied,"I want the site to be as ugly as possible". He implied real hackers like things ugly.
Maybe be likes things ugly, and believes real hackers should be like him. Either way, I think he's incorrect.
Or else the people who have been complaining about the design and layout here for years aren't "real hackers."
Hacker news is the best mobile performing website I use. Would rather it not change.

Which is why the styles should be something users can adjust when logged in. It's very weird that the only real customizable part of this site is the background color of the topbar, and that's a perk that requires karma.
One vote for the UI being great just as it is. Mobile and desktop.
