    I try to keep everything within 80 chars wide, possibly overriding
a little bit for things like HTML, never for programming languages.
Longer lines tend to be hard to read. Did you notice that in books and
newspapers, lines are kept relatively short. When a line is too long it
becomes hazardous for the eye to go to the next, at least for me. I
suppose its the reason why text formatting tools support multicolumn.

    If you open any free software source file, you will notice that it
also fits in 80 columns. Always. So it isn't just me.
