I'm using a 30" widescreen monitor and 8pt font. I get four tmux panes side by side, each with a little over 100 characters. I think getting an extra pane is worth way more than getting extra 20 characters of width per pane for the occasional long line. If it were up to me, I'd be happy to add a fifth pane and go for 80 columns. Unfortunately people at work picked long naming conventions and they're also writing massive functions with deep nesting :( I'd actually encourage a 80-character limit and deep indents (at least 4, preferrably 8 spaces) if only to force people to give their code better structure. I don't have a problem with long functions as long as they read straightforward, like a recipe from top to bottom, without too much branching and looping and jumping around. Unfortunately these massive deeply nested functions tend not to read straightforward at all.
