The 140 character limit is a fun design choice, but it's worth noting that it appeals to a very specific kind of demographic. The kind that loves forming an opinion without spending more than 2-3 seconds on the material.
That's... absolutely not true? It appeals to people who are able to communicate an idea succinctly. I'll agree that composing can be a pain, but I very much enjoy being able to read a feed of short posts. If that limit was removed I can't imagine what a mess the timeline would look like.
