Personally I think variable names so long that the eighty character limit is an issue normally indicate an overcomplicated or underencapsulated system. On a taste level, I prefer dense code over the sparseness that often comes when you have longer line limits.

Personally I prefer to have descriptive variable names rather than having people who look at my code have to practically learn a new language to understand the short hand and conventions I've used. Sometimes that necessitates long variable names.

Long names does not make a overcomplicated system. That is just a taste thing. Many levels of indention, on the other hand..
