like to print out code and look at your code in an xterm without resizing
it.</p>
<p>The longer answer is that there must be some limit to the width of the code
in order to reasonably allow developers to have multiple files side-by-side in
windows on a modest display. If you are going to pick a width limit, it is
somewhat arbitrary but you might as well pick something standard. Going with
90 columns (for example) instead of 80 columns wouldn't add any significant
value and would be detrimental to printing out code. Also many other projects
have standardized on 80 columns, so some people have already configured their
editors for it (vs something else, like 90 columns).</p>
<p>This is one of many contentious issues in coding standards, but is not up
for debate.</p>
