Poor sod? Makes it sound bad when you say it like that. I am not forced to work at that fixed width, but when I work with code, I often have my vim session split vertically and it's super important to keep things at 80 character to quickly read/edit code.

Is it?  I assume one major reason for the 80-character limit is to help
the poor sod who will eventually get stuck working with your code on an
80-column fixed width terminal window.
