Comment (by joyously):

 > Note Serif is a better experience, there's no doubt about that. It's a
 beautiful font.

 Only in certain languages. If you use system fonts, there is no lag, no
 privacy concern, and the user gets the font they've already chosen as very
 readable. If this is just for the editor chrome, it's the best choice to
 use system fonts (like `sans-serif`). If it's for the content, the editor
 should not be specifying anything at all.
