Comment (by helen):

 Replying to [comment:37 mattmiklic]:
 > Since the idea was to use system fonts for the sake of looking more
 native, we confined them to user interface elements. For content, we
 continued to use a serif typeface. This creates a clear typographic
 distinction between text that's part of the UI (like a button, menu item,
 or hint) and text that's content on your site (like a post or a comment).

 This is solid reasoning; let's keep the default editor font a serif.
