I'm not the parent, but the linked project has some bold statements in its README:
> each window has a size that is not convenient for editing
> The window that has the main focus will have the perfect size for editing
and nothing to backup these claims except a wikipedia article that, in fact, doesn't.
The parent's comment goes well with the project's claims, I'd say.

My own experience with editing windows is that I'll need different dimensions for different tasks. While a vim-plugin or such that did dynamic pane resizing might be useful I don't think the fundamentally aesthetic concern behind the golden-ratio cult adds anything to this.

#10I can't see how the golden ratio is useful in making a window the "perfect size"...
