As someone whose résumé, the one that got me in the door at Bell Labs, was formatted with nroff -man, I of course support the clarity and precision Doug celebrates. I wish the rest of the world agreed, but it doesn't. Although I hold the editor line for much of the documentation for Go, for instance, I fend off frequent requests to rewrite and expand. Flab is felt to be friendlier, much as I (and Doug, who taught me more about writing than anyone else) would prefer the leaner cuts.
