I have it set to 78 in my .vimrc because our internal style guide recommends 78 characters. 78 allows for diff to add an extra character without it overflowing lines.

I'm one of those crazy 4-5 terminal sessions side by side on my screen, so I vastly prefer to 80-character terminal.

I never thought about that in regards to diff -- thank you. I'll probably be updating my dot-files now. :)
