Yes. In the second page (\baselineskip=0pt), the text is very cramped
in the vertical direction. Not pleasant to look at. Also, much more
cramped than emacs -Q currently is if you use a reasonable font. And
this is despite the fact that emacs -Q adds no extra space between
lines.
In the first page (default \baselineskip), the text is rather condensed
vertically, but not to a degree that it becomes unpleasant. emacs -Q is
rather condensed vertically, but not to the degree of being unpleasant.
Paradoxically, TeX is using the equivalent of (setq line-spacing 0.2).
Now, this is an aesthetics question, therefore subjective — just like the
original subject of this thread.
