You can never really know how the end result is going to appear to your users/readers because everyone has different types of monitors, resolutions, layouts. For example, I have 4 monitors at work that have all been rotated 90 degrees from the "norm" - in other words they're all in portrait mode. My browser window dimensions are thus longer than it is wide - which I think is not what most web developers expect. Furthermore, I really do enjoy small fonts and much prefer to see as much of a site on 1 page as possible. I had to zoom out of that page just to be able to read it comfortably without scrolling too much.
