There must be something wrong with your eyes then.
Icons use less space than text.

You can count the number of buttons where the text is smaller (as in: less wide) than the icon, on 1 hand.
At a first glance, for 'Add' the text is as wide as the icon. For all other buttons the text is wider than the icon.

So, no thank you. I prefer icons; you can get rid of the text for all I care.
