I avoid going over 80, and try to keep lines even shorter, around 60 is when I start trying to break the line.
I very often put separate function arguments on separate lines.
I'm also always frustrated at the syntax of most non-Lisp languages and how difficult it can be to break lines sensibly. (Infix operators, the ternary operator, JSX, period syntax for property access, etc).
I like to use large fonts because they help me focus. And I also like to sometimes be split screen with a browser on my laptop, so "everyone has a widescreen" is irrelevant for me.
Narrow code when composed nicely still allows widescreen coders to use splitting along the vertical axis, but long lines are difficult for me to deal with with my (perhaps idiosyncratic) ways.
