Emacs here also. I don't know a ton about configuring it, but I know
enough to make it do 3-space indentation :o)

Agreed.

I would generally agree with you, but large C projects fall into the
same bucket as Java, specifically because C doesn't have any real
concept of namespaces. Consequently, I think 80 chars is a bad idea for
Geeqie.
So when your line starts off like this:
"combo = tab_completion_new_with_history("
You're gonna have a bad time. Especially if it's inside of a loop or
conditional or something like that. Constants are even worse, the
constant "PAN_IMAGE_SIZE_THUMB_LARGE" is already 33% of an 80-character
budget. That's the kind of thing that causes statements to start
consuming extra lines without actually improving readability at all.
(As an aside, C++ namespaces and enum classes would help dramatically in
conserving readability while reducing statement length. But when C is
what you've got, the namespace info has to go in the method and constant
names, and you've got to set line lengths to accommodate.)
