I think it depends on what you use it for. If you are editing code,
there is usually little overflow, and the overflow you have ends at an
easily recognizable place, and the hard newlines carry meaning.
If you are editing a novel where every paragraph is written without
newlines, wrapping just being done to accommodate the editing window
(but irrelevant for the result), you want to be able to edit and
navigate with finer grained units than whole paragraphs.
