I recently watched a video of the ISS (International Space Station).

Some of the rooms (modules) are crammed with scientific equipment.

I was least comfortable about those rooms ;-).

I like stuff to be WYSIWYG and you would never print anything with 
absolutely zero borders.

I even have an issue when some text editor displays text in a sans-serif 
font and the result page would be serif. It just changes the aspect of 
what I can expect when writing something. Some editors even fail to 
properly do italic text, I believe, while the resulting text does have 
it, or proper indents, I don't know (Drupal).
