80-characters limit for text is wrong

I'd like to hear about those other reasons. It really makes sense for human text, but I can't "wrap" my head around why wraping long code lines could end up being more legible.
I've started following a simple rule of a soft limit of 80 chars and a hard limit of 120. I find that it makes it more concise and makes me think a lot more about how I can make it easier to read and understand.
