Josh - I completely agree that 80 won't cut it. I use 132 - why? - because I am old. That was the standard for old printouts. Anyone remember "greenbar"? Just for fun I followed your link and copied the code. Then I opened it in emacs, xemacs, gedit, vim, and kate. Not a single line wrapped in any of those editors (the way I have them set). Looking quickly your longest lines were in the 120+ range. In all cases, except emacs, all was clear and easy to work with - even for long periods of time. At the moment I am not even using an external monitor on my ThinkPad T40p (1400x1050).
