A few years ago, 3-column sites were the norm, and 4-column sites weren't uncommon. Today, 2 is more common, and 3 is the mainstream maximum.
Why using fewer columns is good
Less is more. Fewer columns feels simpler, bolder, and more honest. We're communicating less information more clearly.
There's also a by-product of the domination of centered layouts. Because we're not filling the whole screen so much, and not trying to get as much on-screen at any one time, we simply don't need as many columns of information.
How to choose your columns
I'd definitely recommend using no more than 3 columns, simply because you should use no more of anything than you need to.
