Is the 80 Columns Limit Dead?

Dancing Primate asks: "Reading through the code of co-workers and various open source projects, I'm finding that people are no longer formatting their code to 80 columns. With most people using X and the wide range of non-vi editors, is the 80 column limitation disappearing? Am I the only one who gets grumpy when I do a diff or print code, and it's hard to read?"

So auto-concat then split to whatever your line width is. Trivial.

Stop insisting that people change their behavior to suit your display preferences, and fix it on your end.
