When you say "easily usable by everyone", do you mean "everyone 
with perfect 20/20 vision"? Websites should honour the user's choice of 
typeface and typesize, if nothing else, and that doesn't add much in the 
way of complexity. (If anything, websites that force their own choice of 
font are more complex, not less.)
