Yes, I dislike overly-long lines also. Part of the problem here is when people insist on using tab indentation with the default 8 column tabstop. A second level indent will have already eaten 16 columns before the code even starts. Add in the overly-long function and parameter names everyone seems to use these days and it's no wonder lines get a little lengthy.
Personally, I prefer a 4 space indent, but I accept that I'm straying into "holy war" territory here that rivals vi vs emacs.
I don't mind going a few characters past 80 if that would complete the line, but code containing really long lines is just horrid to read and better continued over multiple lines.
P.S.
emacs!
