Re:Why is 80 characters the 'standard' limit for code width? by ternaryoperator on Wednesday May 16, 2012 @03:25AM (#3980887)
I find 132 columns is too wide for code (Good for tabular data, but not for code.) I want something I can read by running my eyes down the code. For me, this means no more than about 90 characters. A width of 132 cols means I have to stop and read back and forth, making it impossible to scan for something. Of course, YMMV.
