> People use ultrawide screen, with half screen dedicated to browser, half screen for code editor, and two columns open in editor. This is very modern setup, and 80 is perfect for it. Don't limit your thinking to your own setup.

It kind of sounds like you're promoting your own setup.

The funny thing I see the most is that people with these crazy widescreen monitors still maximize just one window, with just one file open. Not sure why, maybe for focus?

Not promoting my setup, but just to point out that 80 is a sensible default, and it is not based / targeted for ancient old rare setups.
