The downside is that "ls -l" format runs out of columns too quickly. Many people look at it in 80 (or even 79) column windows.
Point taken.
Anyway, I think Jim's suggestion of adding a general-purpose format argument is the right way to go in the long run.
Yes, I'd have to agree. I assume he means something along the lines of:
--format="%m %l %u %g %s %t %n"
whereby one can adjust the column arrangement and spacing as desired.
That'd be quite spiffy.
