Could someone explain what's up with the massive spacing? I don't really see it usable unless it's like on a TV that is 5 meters away from the user

For a TV, those fonts are tiny as hell.

You can always zoom in using ctrl + or whatever the key binding is and make it smaller when making screenshots

Reasons:

  1. It easier to discern between windows
  2. Its pretty.

In any case I agree with you and I make my gaps as small as possible while still visually sensible. Even on a large monitor there is not much point making gaps larger past some point.
