I suspect you don't print out a lot of code? Or are accustomed to using a loupe on your printed code-reviews? :-) Old habits die hard, and I'm enough of a dinosaur to feel edgy when my code expands far beyond that invisible 78-character wall. I've also had to emergency-edit enough code at the console to appreciate that 78-ish still isn't a bad soft limit.
