Is it bad that I don't follow PEP 8 and cut my lines at 79 characters?

Solution
PEP 8:
But most importantly: know when to be inconsistent -- sometimes the style guide just doesn't apply. When in doubt, use your best judgment.
Problem
I think every Python code has seen PEP 8. The part that sticks out to me is: ``` Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters. ``` I'm sitting here on a widescreen monitor and coding right across the screen. I'm not coding in a terminal and don't plan on coding in a terminal. I therefor have no problems with character-line limits. How many people actually follow this limit? Do you still follow it if you're not coding in a 80 character limit terminal? Is it bad that I don't follow it? I hate how this restriction is apart of 'the style guide' for Python >.<
