Reporting as an Eclipse user of 20+ years, and a person who cares about the craft:
The choice for me is simple:
If I'm going to view the code I'm writing in a 80x24 terminal later on, I'll break that lines, and will try really hard to not get closer to 80 chars per line.
If that code is only going to be seen in Eclipse and only by me, I won't break that lines.
I omitted your other examples for brevity.
Having bigger screens doesn't make longer lines legit or valid. I may have anything between 4-9 terminals open on my 28" 2K screen anytime, and no, I don't want to see lines going from one side to another like spikes, even if I have written them.
I like 80 columns, I can tolerate 100 or 120. I get really annoyed with formatting standards, JS/TS in particular that waste a whole line for a closing brace. Standard aspect has screens more limited vertically than horizontally.
When dealing with tabular data, particularly test data, I find most formatting lacking. I want to be able to specify blocks that align on the decimal point. Especially when dealing with lists of dicts. This makes reading test fixtures much more intuitive than default indentation styles.
Has anyone seen a formatter where you can specify a block be formatted in that manner?
