    Does anybody else remember when Proxima Nova was the font to use and it was absolutely everywhere, like it got so bad at one point I think people just forgot that other fonts even existed?

    Actually, the system font stack is becoming increasingly popular, San Francisco on macOS and Segoe on Windows. GitHub uses it throughout the site. This article goes into detail. I think the reason people don't want to use the standard system fonts is because they're not really pretty enough, but (subjectively) San Francisco and Segoe are quite pretty. They've got tons of font weights too so I can do super thin weights on titles, etc. Not having to contend with the flash as the web fonts load in is also really cool.

    Some people believe that Minecraft's progress and space between updates have slowed down now Microsoft owns them.

    Those people are ill informed. Minecraft has always been slow to update because it has a very small team working on the actual game, and it's always been slow to provide major new content.

    It's cool and fun and trendy to hate on Microsoft basically. They're the big and bad evil corporation in most people's eyes.

    Maybe it's an "all PR is good PR" thing.
