So set up at 120, and then look at someone's code that's used 128 consistently. And then reformat for those few lines that went that long. See the point?
You can't standardise based on what you are fond of. That's the point of a standard. When such a large proportion of people, and the standard library, and most shells, use 80, then using 120 will inconvenience them. If you load my 80col code into your 120 col editor, it will not inconvenience you at all, barring an occasional extra line break.
