Comment(by demetris):

 Thanks for taking the poll! :-D

 About 1, 2, and 3, I disagree they are a matter of the designer’s
 preference.

 Clean typography is a matter of functionality, not just styling.

 The “Also tagged” and “Also posted in” is also a matter of functionality.
 I suppose there is a reasoning behind it (maybe the idea some people have
 that a hypelink should not refer to itself), but it inconveniences me when
 I browse category or tag archives:  I have to look up to the browser’s
 window title to remember what category/tag I’m in.

 Also, their fanciness begets more complexity that we have to deal with:
 E.g., if a post is only in one category, in that category’s archives you
 get a redundant vertical line like this:

 '''| Tagged blah, blahblah | ...'''

 Last but not least, all this fancy and not necessary functionality results
 in a functions.php file that has grown out of proportion for a basic,
 default theme.

 If all this stuff is necessary for a '''basic''' theme, then why it’s not
 in the core?
