Open Stack

Hi there,

Limiting the lines to 80 symbols makes viewing/editing/comparing two files on a single screen quite comfortable.
This is not only useful for Vimers who do not use graphical IDEs but also makes debugging/troubleshooting easier when someone has a development/preproduction server(s) where you cannot basically use any IDE.

If a line of code is complex enough to not fit 80 symbols I'd suggest simplifying the algorithm. Btw, some of displays can be turned for 90˚ so this might be a way to go with graphical IDEs :)
