On most monitors today you can still have 120 characters and see 3 or 4 side by side tracks including the filesystem in another track.

- forgottenpass 7y agoHow big is "modern" these days? I have a multiple 22" 1920x1080 screens instead of one huge one, and after making the font as small as is still comfortable at my viewing distance I get 202 visible columns in maximized VS Code. At a still-workable but small enough size that I'll start unconsciously hunching at my desk I can get up to 271. Common laptop screen sizes are even more constrained. I also like to have one monitor turned to 1080x1920 for text editing and consoles. I'd never try to do a side-by-side diff on it, but it really makes you see just how many GUIs are downright wasteful of horizontal space.

- PunchTornado 7y agoIn my experience the majority have 27 inches monitors. I have 3 of those at my desk, 2 vertical and one horizontal. it's a popular system from what I can see.
- 0xffff2 7y agoOh... you mean 3 or 4 across two or more monitors? That makes a bit more sense, but I find it an odd way to compare things. Obviously if you have n monitors you can fit at least n windows "side by side". (Also disagree about most people having 27" monitors, but I don't think that makes much of a difference)
