Call me old fashioned, but I still want to be able to keep lines to a length I prefer. Yes I imagine your world probably looks like editing a Wikipedia article with its long lines, but in mine, emacs: toggle-truncate-lines is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'. Toggle whether to fold or truncate long lines for the current buffer. With arg, truncate long lines iff arg is positive. Both are uncomfortable with long lines. Also how do you print long lines on a line printer? Never mind. Anyway, maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline talk about the problem, maybe not. Don't tell me I'm the only one who is still line-length aware.
