Hallöchen!
I used Emacs org-mode in combination with longlines-mode. Now that
longlines-mode is gone, I use visual-line-mode. However, I consider
this a mild regression for two usecases.
(1)
Limiting line width. In longlines-mode, one could limit the line
width for legibility and/or aesthetics. This doesn't seem to be
possible anymore. In
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-05/msg00824.html>,
Stefan Monnier says (I paraphrase) that he sees no need to add a
set-wrap-width variable for visual line mode. I increase margin
width by using James Wright's solution on
<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VisualLineMode>. However, I regard
this as a kludge. It is not easy to find, may collide with other
things, and is visually less appealing to me than longlines-mode.
(2)
longlines-mode rendered org-mode lists better than visual-line-mode:
- this is
a list
versus
- this is
a list
The only solution is to use org-indent-mode. But this is intended
for a different use case. Actually, I think visual-line-mode should
work as well as longlines-mode. So should I file a bug report?
Tschö,
Torsten.

To get the former in visual-line-mode you can use install
adaptive-wrap.el from GNU ELPA (M-x package-list-packages) and enable
the minor mode adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode.

Thank you, this works nicely for me!
Nevertheless, I suggest visual-line-mode should have the same
ability as its predecessor in this respect. Besides, adaptive-wrap
is not easy to find.
Tschö,
Torsten.
