The design of the blog is not under my control; if it was, it'd be a lot more flexible. (Responsive design FTW.)

The lines that are 81 characters long benefit greatly from the increase to 120 characters. That was the primary reason for increasing the limit beyond PEP-8's default 80 in my FOSS codebases. There were far too many lines whose wrapping was clearly stupid, and too much developer time spent worrying about it.

I have 4 screens (2@1024x768, 1@2560x1440, 1@1280x800) and frequently utilize multi-column splits. I only turn soft-wrapping on when I need it, which is almost never. If I were utilizing your setup I wouldn't enable it on your mvim display; <2% of the lines in any of the codebases I work on exceed 90 characters.
