- zelphirkalt 6y agoI think the answer is "yes" although exceptions to the rule should be permitted. For example, if you split a long logger calling line into multiple shorter lines, it can hurt readability of the actual program logic a lot. Having more or less everywhere 80 chars limit also makes it easy to display multiple buffers in my Emacs next to each other, which is not a must have, but nice to have.
