I was going to ask if someone did an analysis of the sort! Kudos! It'd be great to get a distribution graph as well, even if we can't know how long would the lines have been without a line length limit. My gut feel before reading your comment was that: * I like short limit because majority of the lines _are_ short * Shorter line length limit allows me to have more windows side-by-side-by-side, without wasting whitespace on the right side * I am willing to accept occasional awkward line break to achieve the above The question I had in my mind was how "occasional" was it, so thanks for answering that to a large extent. We could also do a deeper analysis to re-format all lines not to use line-breaks before running the numbers too. Basically, if 64 was the natural limit for 90% of the lines (sure, some are this short because of the 80-character limit), then a 20% buffer should be good enough.
