Same here; 80 characters just feels too narrow to me in most cases. I'd rather see 100 or 120 characters of width and be less constrained, at the expense of maybe having to scroll if I've got multiple files open in my editor.
I also usually run my terminals at 120 characters wide, FWIW.
It's not like 80 is a hard width limit. The rule exists mostly to limit nesting and not text. More (nonredundant) text is better to a high degree.
Likewise 24 line height limit should not include proper comments.
