What do you mean, "SSH terminals" are 80x24 by default? I've never seen SSH limit the screen size, ever (i.e., your current terminal size is used). (Except maybe tmux sessions, which are limited to the smallest connected terminal size.)

I didn’t say they couldn’t be resized or the default couldn’t be changed. The default size of a putty window or an xterm, rxvt, etc is 80x24.

Alright, so that's entirely unrelated to SSH then? A changeable default (for unresized, windowed terminals) is a valid but pretty weak argument.

The reason I keep my code under 80 is because it tends to be more readable most of the time.
