* It seems to constrain the width to something even smaller than usual (800px?). I have 6000px of horizontal real estate, and while it would be mad to let text run to that length, the optimum is not what a phone can do. (I've tried to find out what "native" width is here, but I'm getting full-width no-constraint layouts with Firefox (no plugin, not logged in), 800px with the plugin (Chrome, logged in) and something in between (Safari, logged in).
* It hides links I regularly use behind menus (to the discussion page and version history).
I guess 9x% of people never edit Wikipedia and it might make sense to cater to them. But, then again, I'm not sure if it's the best idea to actively hide the fact that they could contribute. I also don't see as much of a difference to the mobile layout that is planned to slowly become default on desktop as well.
Edit: I found the slider to adjust page width. That's thoughtful!
