I mostly am. It annoys me to have to scroll horizontally or expand my shell/editor window when reviewing wider code/READMEs/etc. – but I’ll give them slack up to about 100. Beyond that, no, come on, making people scroll horizontally back and forth, or expand their windows when your content damn well could easily fit within a reasonable space (don’t get me started on many modern web-apps), is just bloody inconsiderate.

I’m 110 because that’s how many columns Github uses at default desktop resolution. I don’t want to scroll and also want the max width I can utilize.
