It's what makes Twitter, well Twitter. I love the 140 char limit because it enforces brevity and aids quick consumption. That's me.

I agree that it's so fundamental to the brand and Twitter's identity that it might cause a lot of problems if it were reverted, but frankly it's completely arbitrary. If you want to produce 140 (or less) content, you can do that without a hard limit. People hack around it because it's such a ubiquitous platform, but people would also like to address that audience in long(er)-form. It culminates in inconvenience for both producer and consumer.
