My preference is 100 characters. I find it usually takes up half the screen, allowing split screen editing (on modern screen sizes). But while on the subject,

  That's a silly quote. Everybody knows it's only a vector since a tall 80x84 or whatever is always useful for keeping more of the file on the screen. Also, for reference, a table of font sizes and number of terminals beside each other that fit on a given size screen: 1t 2t 3t 4t 5t 6t 6px 480 960 1440 1920 2400 2880 7px 560 1120 1680 2240 2800 3360 8px 640 1280 1920 2560 3200 3840 9px 720 1440 2160 2880 3600 4320 10px 800 1600 2400 3200 4000 4800 12px 960 1920 2880 3840 4800 5760 14px 1120 2240 3360 4480 5600 6720 16px 1280 2560 3840 5120 6400 7680 On a screen with the traditional ~100 DPI, a 6px wide font is quite readable so on 1920x1080 you get exactly 4 columns of terminals (just beware window decorations trying to steal extra pixels). If the height is 13px (so it's about a 9.5pt font IF point size is measured honestly) you get about 75 lines depending on taskbar and window headers.
