There will always be some people who prefer longer lines. The real issue is, how do we deal with the fundamental disagreement here? It's not like we can have both. Also those people who like long lines -- will they all agree to a long line length?
Is there a fundamental disagreement here? There are those who are driven by an archaic standard from the width of the terminal screen, and there are those who are driven by the aesthetics of their code. As always, opinions on aesthetics differ slightly, but overall, everyone seems to mostly agree that we should try to keep lines short where possible, but lengthen then when needed. Bob
