When you say you're used to it, you mean it doesn't bother you anymore, don't you? I do think 180 is too much. That's not one person's opinion, mind you. Reading speed and comprehension can be scientifically measured. There are studies about this kind of thing. Have you tried it yourself? How fast can you read a text at 180 characters width as compared to an equally long text of 80 characters width? And how much will you remember?
