- too much whitespace around text.

- no clear delineators between post and replies, the slightly shaded divider lines just aren't enough for me, there should be a colour/shading difference to make it clearer.

- peoples profile photos are emphasised too much, especially on mobile with precious limited screen space (personally these should be off by default on mobile).

- timeline slider seems like another waste of screen space, perhaps hide by default?

The first 3 points are something we hope to solve by making theming/configuration for new admins easier. Ideally I'd like to be in a place where those are all easily editable and Discourse can be as dense/sparse as you'd like!

Because of infinite scrolling the timeline is a critical component that I don't think we'd ever hide by default. If you enter a topic with 5,000 posts for example... without the timeline you have no way to quickly move through them. With the timeline you can click and drag to jump to the start/end or anywhere else.

Highly agree of the timeline, a useful feature from someone who hates to read new +100 pages on a forum thread.
