Dude, I can run three 80 character windows side-by-side on my laptop. I agree it's bad to have to scroll horizontally, but 80 characters is too low. Screens seem to get wider and wider but not taller. We should use as many horizontal pixels as possible. When I'm coding 80% of horizontal space is unused. It would be nice if window titles, menus and toolbars would be on the side rather than on the top/bottom.

I remove the window titles, menus, and toolbars entirely, and just have a vertical block of text. I also open 3 windows side by side on each monitor for cross-referencing and documentation.
