oh, i completely agree !! i am not against justification, i am against (overly simplistic, badly done...)
automatic justification. i make a very strong distinction between
good justification and
bad justification. but, for the moment, all of the displays of justified reflowable text that i have seen have been very unsatisfactory (=bad justification : see photo above). therefore, in these circumstances, i prefer left-aligned.
i do think that in the end it should be a choice left to the user.
however i also think that perhaps it's important to stop considering justification the only valid way of presenting text, and consider instead that it is one option of several, equally valid.
