I think that putting an artificial limit is incredibly stupid. Haven't
anyone here learned the "No magic numbers" rule?!?!
Walter correctly pointed out that it's harder to read long rows,
however, unlike printed text and ancient terminals, current display
technology is much more dynamic.
Font size, zoom level, screen form-factor, window size, resolution, etc
means that each person can configure his own individual optimal view.
As the OP said, use word wrap and adjust your editor window width/font
size/zoom level/etc to your liking.
If your editor does not support this "new" feature, go get a new editor
and don't bother other people with different preferences.
Stop forcing this moronic "one size fits all" attitude on everyone.
I agree, but i guess they are talking about standard library.
