One trend I'd like to see is more dense UIs. You can tell a lot of web and desktop GUIs are designed by developers with wide monitors because when you go to use those apps on a laptop with a small screen they are hard to use and you lose context from scrolling so much.

You are absolutely right. For example, I use laptop with Windows and 150% scaling. Otherwise the default scaling is 200% and everything looks so big.
I scale most websites to 150-200% because I like to fit the text I'm reading so that the ideal line length is approximately equivalent to my screen's width, and so that the things I need to click take up a significant portion of the screen. I'm a little short-sighted, but more significantly: I like to scope what I'm dealing with to an extreme degree.
Many websites break down when you scale them beyond. For example, news.ycombinator.com goes out of screen at >200% on my screen.
My terminal default font size is 20, but I often scale it above that when lines output is short enough for a period of time.
I love big output without fluff like task bars and clocks and other clutter.
What time is it? I don't know, I'll check my WRIST WATCH! :-)
