Another reason (that I mentioned in a recent post) is that you restrict

Somebody is likely to bring this up sooner or later, so I might as well do
so.

It is a fact that reading text is faster with shorter line lengths. This
is why newspapers have more, narrower columns, as opposed to fewer, wider
ones. So why do I have such long lines?

In fact, the actual nonblank parts of my lines of source are not often
that long. So my choice of 100-column width is more to allow for levels of
indentation, rather than to be filled with long lines of text.
