Yes, but rather than speaking in the abstract, let's be concrete.  Using the URL Peter posted, this is fairly impenetrable for me (and perhaps most users):

in particular, tracking from the right edge, skipping a line, and jumping to the left edge is a fairly low probability event.  Also, my eyes have difficulty tracking in the middle of most lines.

Using a reader makes a big difference (at the cost of some real estate):

The original proposal was to put some CSS limitations in place, so the standard mode looked more like reader mode; I seem to be one of the few respondents in favor of this proposal.

But some don't, like people who prefer dark backgrounds or need a 15pt
font to read.  Browsers have customizable defaults for a reason. 
Overriding those should require a reason other than it's what I like.

Flexibility is a key and often overlooked aspect to a website. People
have different width screens, so setting things in pixel (or character)
widths can make a web page look like crap.  It's quite frustrating when
a website says "Best viewed at 1024x768" or some such.

What fancy design do you see the Zsh Website needing?  Drop down menus? 
Floating ads?  The fanciest thing I can see us needing is a side bar
with a width set in ems.  We don't need to control every aspect of the
user experience to get our message out there.
