If it would be just annoying...  

It is actually extremely harmful for eyes.  Especially with the default 
black vs. white (or at list bright) background in most application 
windows. 

What a "bright" idea, any time a user need to access any menu he'll have 
to zoom the entire screen in/out.  Try to count how many times you access 
your system menus during a day...

Add to this that switching between windows requires some zooming in/out 
too.

Ask any optometrist...  A user all day long sitting down in front of a 
monitor and zooming the entire screen in/out from black to white/bright 
colours is going to become visually impaired very fast and permanently.

The new design is thought in all aspects but this.  The way it is now it 
is a user eyes killer first of all.
