No strong preference here, but 100 sounds good to me for reliving the code density pressure (or use 2 space tabs) and for side by side readability on a 1080p screen.  It's also safely under the hard limit of 132 when using wide paper in the line printer :-)

Here are the results so far:

* Fredrik Holmqvist      100

* Jessica Hamilton       90 "soft limit"

* X512                   120
* Ryan Leavengood        100 or 120

I'd say 100 seems to be pretty well accepted as reasonable.
