I always stick to 79 chars and stick to the latter method for indentation. I am completely happy with the readability of my code as a result. Thus, I'm not really happy with the new 99 char rule.



I don't think of it as a new limit at 99 chars, meaning you should switch, but that the 79 limit isn't a hard limit, just a guideline.

If you have a line that would suffer under 79 chars, let it go a little long, but no farther than 99.
