Apparently, in the 21st century, he didn't like code where lines wouldn't fit in an 80x24 vi window.

Expect to see more of that. Python's PEP8 coding standard says :

Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters.

For flowing long blocks of text with fewer structural restrictions (docstrings or comments), the line length should be limited to 72 characters.

I've seen some right pig's ears from developers trying to comply with that,.,.
