... but, as I feared, horrible-looking user interface by default: would run, not walk, to avoid using any applications that looked like this, no matter what language they were written in. Does *anyone* who ever reads any text in any English-like language seriously think that a layout in which the lines of text are each separated by something like two and a half times as much whitespace is a remotely tolerable way to lay out a list (except if the list is going to a proofreader or editor who is expected to scribble things in the whitespace between the lines)? Did anyone with any experience in typography ever look at Flutter and/or Material Design at all? (And before you say "accessibility", I've got fairly serious visual deficits that impact my ability to read dense text and *even I* think this is going way too far in the direction of "nowhere near enough density". I would almost rather use a screen reader than put up with a user interface with this much spacing.)
(And presumably *all* lists in Flutter look like this unless you take special measures to stop it...)
