<p>Weird - I have the exact *opposite* problem, where I have to resize my window because somebody *didn't* set their text max-width sanely (to a reasonable value based on ems instead of pixels), and I have nearly 1920 pixels of raw text spanning my screen. Bloody impossible to read that way.</p>
<p>But I guess this is going to turn into one of those vi vs. emacs holy war things... </p>
