I'd rather have 80 columns on a 4:3 ratio than 120 columns on 16:9. "A wide monitor is for" watching video, playing games, and putting larger diagonal numbers on the box. I miss turning one monitor sideways to nearly fit an A-sized document. And I miss those 120 extra vertical pixels from before 1080 became the standard. I think the only good and common option right now is 21:9 in a large size and resolution, you still won't get 1600 vertical pixels like with a 3:4 but 1440 is still useful and there's enough horizontal space you won't get distracted over nonsense like how many characters wide a line should be.
