I'm working on a 1920 pixels wide screen with a font of size 10. With the toolboxes on the side of my IDE, I can have around 170 characters on a single line without having to scroll horizontally.

As long as I dont have to scroll I'm happy.

Terminals are 80 chars, lines wrap at 72.

Terminals are buggy whips
