You have a point, devs should be using multiple large monitors. I will often need to have 3-4 files open at once, plus some browser windows. Having some limit on line length helps with this and for fighting code complexity.

    The most important thing is comprehension. If something is too long and the length makes it less readable then it is too long.

    But if having 3-4 files open at the same time makes it harder for you to comprehend a single file because you can't get the full picture, that's on you.
