I was looking at the thread for Sync because I was wondering how the same issue might be handled in Connect. Seems like it has the same issue. RIF handled this by having a view more button that displayed child comments in a separate view once the nested levels hit a certain threshold so they weren't smushed against the edge of the screen.
I'd prefer if the colored bars were slightly wider, and the black space was eliminated, or reduced to a single pixel wide. The nesting markers don't need to take up nearly that much space.
I always like more options. Joey for Reddit had "indent width of child comment" as an adjustable setting:
