RE: https://hachyderm.io/@chandlerc/117039634403267950 So I ran this poll, thanks folks for voting, and ... gotta say, I didn't expect it to be essentially a tie. When I started, my bias was 100% "infinite columns". It seemed like the best option. But the more I've thought about it, I've weirdly come around to the "80 columns" side. Going to give my rationale, and re-run the poll to see if I get a different result. Or who knows, maybe you all will decide to Boaty-McBoatface my poll out of any meaning, that works too. Rationale for 80-columns: If the wrapping that happens when a line is too long is _good_, neither answer hurts. It only really matters when the wrapping of a line is both _bad_ and _necessary_. When we wrap to 80-columns, we make necessary bad wrapping _worse_, but its already quite, quite bad. For example: we get 3 one-word bad wraps for example instead of 2-3 many-word bad wraps. But we also make wrapping at all less necessary a decent fraction of the time. The benefit there (perfectly readable rendering) probably out-strips the slight worsening of an already bad state. Also, if we wrap to 80-columns, then users hitting the bad state actually have a much better chance of being able to work around it by resizing a window in some way. At least, strictly more chances than infinite-width! So, surprisingly, I'm now inclined to the 80-columns. WDYT?
