I realize this is totally NOT the productive place to have this discussion,
but...
I've been programming in C for the last 30+ years (back when an 80 column
max
would have matched a physical screen size) but who is it that's pushing the
lamest
idea I've ever heard of? 79 chars then wrap?? what is this, 1986??
We used to use 1 and 2 character variable names too, now 10-20 is not
unheard of.
Most devs I work with have at least two 22"+ monitors side-by-side ...
$ stty -a
speed 9600 baud; 55 rows; 462 columns;
... pretty easy to stretch my window, if/as needed.

by the way, thanks for maintaining the most awesome diff/merge tool!
