I'm not at all convinced that an 80 character line limit makes sense on modern equipment.

On punch cards, teletypes, or VGA CRTs? Absolutely. On SVGA CRTs? Probably. On anything modern? No.

Personally I use a 100 character limit. Anything more and the ability to have two editor windows side by side gets impeded upon. The point is, there is a limit.

Eh. If 1 line of code in 500 has a trailing bit of punctuation scrolled off the side for 1 in 8 coders who have chosen to have both narrow windows and wide tabs, that hardly seems like a deal-breaker, but if it is, enforce common settings/standards.

(I'm fully converted to Team Spaces, but I also don't get too wrapped up in treating what seem to be soft limits as hard limits.)
