I strongly prefer it too even as a user :-)
My eyes (like many other's) works better on narrow columns, look
at any newspaper or google a bit. Longer lines are *less*
readable because the eye makes *more* errors when you search for
the beginning of the *next* line. That's the main reason why
newspapers use narrow columns.
And it allows me to fit *three* emacs frames side-by-side on a
24" screen.
Just now, my setup is 5 virtual screens, 3 of them displaying 3
emacs frames. Each frame beings split, that makes 6 different
files and I'm still switching buffers...
