The good solution to the line length problem is to not be strict about them. My line length rule is usually "stay roughly within 100 spaces, 120 is too long." If you are seriously undermined by lines being too long, then your text editor choice/setup might be worth revisiting.

That sounds a lot like a hard limit. The difference between 2-space and 8-space tabs is huge, so you still have to specify what tab width you're using and someone who prefers a narrow tab width could still accidentally blow past the hard limit if they're not careful.
