It's quite a strong preference for me. I'm also very pedantic about the
way I format my emails.

I'm not too particular about horizontal space. I think the current trend
which favours widescreen aspect ratios is deplorable and not very
helpful while coding. It's irritating when a line of text is so long on
a monitor that I have to deliberately look left to right. I much prefer
vertical screen space so that I don't have to repeatedly scroll and jump
around while trying to read some code.

Please no. It's annoying and there's no real gain from allowing long
lines of text.
