All of the points are mostly personal and thus should never be forced on anyone else via a screenshot (as a general rule, though depends on the content)

- no line wrapping destroys readability more since you can't toggle it in a screenshot. Imagine that url on the screenshot taking 3 lines instead of 1 and pushing useful text off screen. Also, forcing 80 on a user of a wider monitor is barbaric.

- And if there is no tabular data (and autoformatted code doesn't do tabular code) you've just lost nice proportional text for nothing

- Syntax highlighting as is commonly used (and as is shown in the blog screenshot) is useless, and is anyway unlikely to match reader's convention

So it can't even be read properly, you have to scroll the screenshot left and right... instead of just reading
