Fair enough. I'm accustomed to reading 200 character lines, so I guess I don't notice as much. Making the window narrower to force the lines to wrap at 40 or 60 chars feels constricting/claustrophobic to me, and I'm not a big fan of the sites that display text in a thin column, about 1/3 the width of the screen.
There were a few years that I configured my work machine to have dual monitors in portrait mode. That helped my feeling of constriction, while giving shorter lines of text. As a bonus, it matched pretty closely to the 1280 width (at 1200 pixels), and often allowed more of the text to be shown at once.
