Yes a strict 80 character limit would be bad but that’s why modern formatters aren’t strict and default to 90-100.
I’ve pretty much never seen code that would have been more readable had the lines been longer than that.
My main argument is still that shorter lines are more readable. I just think it’s a bullshit argument to say that long lines are fine because large monitors exists. I don’t see how that makes me crazy.
