But just in case you do want to consider hardware limits, I do some
of my coding on my phone & tablet, both of which are ~80 characters
wide at best (or less if I use the phone in portrait mode).  I also do
some editing/diffing within a cmd.exe window on Windows which is
limited to 80 characters unless you do some hijinks in the settings
to expand it.
