I agree the idea is very good. Are flat icons a current design fad?
I like thinking up icons just like any advanced UI/UX guy, but rule number #1: if there's a standard you use it. Even if that means using something as archaic as floppy disk for Save.
Guess its a weird question but does anyone know what the make of propelling pencil is in the photo of their drafting process? I'd be keen to lay my hands on one!
But that's just me doing my best to read the side of the pencil in the photo, but it looks like the one!
Is it just me or does the new exit icon with the door not align well with the other icons?
This speaks to an overall bigger problem with browsers, the need for a universal vector graphics format. The fact that designers are resorting to fonts to try and get resizable art assets is not a good thing IMHO.
What GitHub needs is a 'like' button, not new icons (so we don't have to `watch` projects we find interesting and want to somehow remember just in case - which results in thousands of commits and pushes (every hour) in our news feed we absolutely don't care about).
Agreed. The signal to noise ratio in my newsfeed is very low because of it. There exists some workarounds (e.g. https://www.codeshelver.com ) but I'd like to see GitHub fix the problem.

That's like wanting all cars on the road to be red :)
No. It's like expecting that when I adjust my seat to fit my leg length, the doors still work. I like the text to be readable without me leaning in and destroying my vision. The fact that I'm forced to override font sizes for usability because sites don't respect my default settings is bad enough. When they break because of it, it becomes terrible design.
But forcing everything into the same font seems a bit excessive; I've actually seen a couple of sites make really nice use of fonts, and you can still install an extension that turns your page into an "easy reading" mode on a key press.
What do you do about fixed width vs proportional fonts?

tags at least have the alt attribute. And tags have the title attribute.
has the title attribute too, but title is meant for displaying additional information via a tooltip. alt is for alternative text to be used in place of the image. Does any screen reader actually read the value of a title attribute on a link containing text? I doubt it. Instead it would descend into the tag and try to read the text therein.
At least in 90% of the cases I've seen it used, probably by some overzealous OCD person wanting to fill in _all_ the attributes.
