Comment (by diatchki):
I'd also vote for formatting that fits in 80 characters. I typically work
with two editors open next to each other: usually one for editing code,
and one for browsing code, and it is really nice not to have to constantly
scroll or switch between windows.
I follow the 80 character limit on all projects I work with, and I find
that it is not very hard to format code to fit in the window, even when
there are long name. To do that I either use more but shorter lines, or I
name large sub-expressions. I think both of those contribute to the
readability of the code. Of course, that's quite subjective.
