Longer lines mean less space for multiple terminal / editor windows

Here's a data-point ....
My 1920 pixel-wide screen, in the default font, allows 239 columns; not
enough for two 130-wide editors. Especially not with line numbers and
"gutter" columns.
On the other hand, 80 columns does tend to cause some formatting
contortions, with long function names and deeper indentations.
I think a nice round 100 would be a good compromise.
