I typically have my editor window widths set at about 100 characters.
And I use them all.

It is true that, in normal text, short lines are easier to read than
long ones (hence why newspapers have so many columns). But in
programming, a lot of my lines is taken up with indentation. So the
nonblank parts are not necessarily that long. E.g.

    scallop = Path \
      (
        [
            Path.Segment
              (
                points =
                    (
                        Path.Point((0, 0), False),
                        Path.Point
                          (
                            pt = Vector(1, 1) * (1 - params["fraction"]) / 2 * step,
                            off = False
                          ),
                        Path.Point
                          (
                            pt =
                                    Vector(1, 1) * step * params["sharpness"] / 2
                                +
                                    Vector(1, 1) * 2 * params["depth"] * step_normal,
                            off = True,
                          ),
                        Path.Point
                          (
                            pt =
                                    Vector(1, 1) * step * (1 - params["sharpness"] / 2)
                                +
                                    Vector(1, 1) * 2 * params["depth"] * step_normal,
                            off = True,
                          ),
                        Path.Point
                          (
                            pt = Vector(1, 1) * (1 - (1 - params["fraction"]) / 2) * step,
                            off = False
                          ),
