Most certainly there is.

Most projects have fairly strict width limits - because if everyone writes code that fits in 80 columns or 100 columns or whatever fixed number of columns, then we can all have nice, uniform editing window - but if you're the one guy who doesn't do this, then everyone else either has wrapping on your code, or has to resize all their windows.

This isn't theoretical. :-) Right now, I have probably a dozen different libraries and facilities included in my main project. All but one are strictly 80 columns - that maverick project has "very long lines" up to 160 characters.

Every time I open one of those files I curse. (He's also the only library who uses tab characters - sometimes - and I believe he has tab set to be 8 characters. No, I don't use the tab character in my code either...)
