r1508 - Articles tab
If
in the Site Preferences “Accept Comments” is set to “No”
Then
in the Articles Tab we don’t need the “Comments” to display
Else
I may be wrong :-)

That’s true. Think: “Time”.
You could decide to enable comments now, later on you would decide to disable comments, even undo this decision the next month. But there are still past articles with potentially customized invitations you might want to edit.

That’s true, too!!!
But, in the case you’ve a website that never need comments?
It’s a bit strange to have a column with info about comments that don’t exist…
And for non-blog sites this is the situation in the majority of the cases.

Re: r1508 - Articles tab
Yes, I have a similar wish as I do mostly non-blog sites too, but it’s complex: in one case I have a guestbook for testimonials and that uses comments… (maybe the bannister and elements concept will achieve this in future?)
But I wonder if there is a way of recovering some of the compactness – the new information is great but the list has now got very wide (I get horizontal scrollbars with <900px window), particularly in languages not quite as compact as english (in German edit = bearbeiten and comments = kommentare).
Connected with that, maybe the “edit” and “view” li tags could be given a class each, so that one could replace them with icons using css? Another possibility: go straight for icons from the outset and put edit and view in the tooltip.

Oh, but you already can do that: #list tr>td:first-child+td li {/* rules */} :-)
works nicely on my side.
Regarding the ‘comments’ column: I don’t see it as a big problem. it is just an unused function for a specific site. A function that may be turned on/off at any time.
Where is that emoji for a solar powered submarine when you need it ?
