I must respectfully disagree about retaining left justification.
I have 27'' monitor with resolution of 2560x1440 and left-aligned 
websites are really hard to read!

There is a reason why most editors have "zen mode" which centers 
your code on a screen. It's easier to read when it's centered and 
not too wide.

Current design has no limitation on line width which (at my 
resolution) results in ~300 characters wide lines, and it's 
really unreadable.

I would go for a maximum of 120 characters wide lines with 
content centered on larger monitors.
