It sounds to me like most opinions converge around 120.
The collected opinions from this thread:

"My terminal is generally 120 -140 characters wide. I also use Sublime
Text which usually displays 110 the way I have it."

"github site handles 120 chars fine"

"I can fit 119"

"A post some time last year pointed at a ruleset using 120."

"120 is a good number."

"I'm fine with either 100 or 120."

"The 120 would be a dream come true"

"I feel very uncomfortable with changing the coding style."
and
"the new policy should have a historical background too. I would suggest to use
132 columns (DECwriter II)"


If we were a democracy the vote would be 120, but more African would be to
reach unanimous agreement: would anyone like to comment on / veto the choice of
changing the maximum permitted line width to 120 in the Osmocom projects?
