I go back to the key punch days when we used 80 column punch cards. I also worked on a system when we had a terminal oriented input that had to be converted to punch card format for transmission. While most computer languages today don't have a line length restriction some standards still apply. I spent many years in working with and porting other people's code, and I have always felt that readability is important, even in assembly code. So, while I think longer lines are ok, sometimes printing out the code can be problematic with long lines on letter size paper.
