When `max_line_length` is set in a ".editorconfig" file, in my vim editor it overrides the `textwidth` configuration which was already set to 80 by default. So changing to 120 would change line wrapping behavior for me at least. I could disable using the ".editorconfig", but I would prefer to avoid doing that :) -Justin
