i personally like using http://hcker.news as a reader, its much nicer
I think you just described most of the reason I like it. Plain text sites tend to scale text, allow pinch to zoom, and are just generally faster.
Post deletion we've seen used for manipulation on other sites, it's a sticky topic. HN seems to want you to stand by your word, so it makes sense here.
