I find it much easier to read when the text is in columns of that width (like newspaper) than when it's full width. According to Wikipedia, it's actually recommended to put your content in columns of about 60 characters[1].

And it's not that narrow; facebook's newsfeed is about the same width as that post on my 23" monitor.
