I'm not aware of any definitive stats but i would guess most developers would be working on 1280*1024 + screens now. Personally working on a 1900*1200 screen the 80 character limit detracts from readability instead of improving it. What would you think about increasing the limit to better suite modern screens?-1 I have a 1400x1050 screen and I have three terminals open side-by-side across the screen. For me, being able to open three files side-by-side is more productive than one file with longer lines.
