Of course. But I never grew up in the days of ttys or 80x25. By the time I started using unix, Linux and FreeBSD had framebuffers and even on the console I had something like 132x43.

I did edit some HTML with edit.com in DOS but I switched to notepad after a couple of months.

I use the 80-col guideline to know when I'm doing something wacky, but I break it often. Not by too much though.

Except in the case of CSS, in which I MUCH prefer 1-selector-per-line over 1-rule-per-line. My CSS lines often go above 160 chars.
