Hello pacman-hackers, * Linewidth and indentation
This is a hot topic. Some people's argument is, that they don't want to code on 80 char wide terminals when there is a 2048x1024 resolution on a 20" screen.
However, I think that /usr/src/linux/Documentation/CodingStyle has a good point on that. It's not just an optical problem, it's design.
My gVim defaults to 80 characters wide, but that is not as much the reason- it is so true that shorter lines of clear and concise code are much easier to read. It is also a heck of a lot easier to follow code that isn't nested 6 blocks in. -Dan
