Many people like to be able to see more than one thing on the desktop at a time. Even with a 1280x1024 display on a good 19-inch monitor, I still can't fit two 80-character windows side-by-side if I want to be able to read the font. That's ignoring other issues like trying to print such documents. HP printers don't do auto-wrap (and even if they did it wouldn't respect any semantic value in the code). Before XFree86 3.3.3 came out, my laptop could not run X -- presto, automatic 80-character limitation. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
