I agree that we need a limit, but in my experience 80 characters is often too limiting and sometimes causes wraps that make the code less readable instead of more readable. I use a vim colorcolumn at 80 characters as a soft limit, but the hard limit for my projects is at 100 (or 99, to be exact). This has proven to be a nice guideline to write readable code, versus the 80 hardlimit that forces you to write short code (which sometimes is less readable than a clean & clear line with 90 characters).
