Probably because the standard techniques of literary criticism come off as extremely irritating and pretentious when applied to something you were neither forced, charged, nor paid to read. Maybe serious writers like that kind of thing, it affirms their professionalness or something, but I always get the feeling that I'm washing my car and somebody in a beret has just come up and started criticising the avant-garde sloppiness of my sponge technique.

(Oh - and DCF does wrap text on resize, but it's constrained by the width of the article tree diagram as to how narrow it can go before it puts a scrollbar in. Kvetching about that to the appropriate non-creative topic so Zoner can ignore it like he always does.)
