The best argument I can come up with when advocating lines of 80 chars
for most programming code is subtle, but important:

Code is easier to read for me when it is printed on good old paper.
a2ps(1) is magnificient, but it takes 80 chars only if you want two
pages on a single A4. Quite a number of projects violates the 80 column
principle with the result it is unreadable on print.

Hmm, printing code on paper isn't good for the environment.

But is quite the same argument for e-paper. :-)
