Autofilling really is a waste of time these days. It was useful during the days you=E2=80=99d write in plain text, keep multiple dated backups, and then print it out as-is. But these days we have Markdown processors / Org export, automatic layout, and version control systems. It is a good idea to stop worrying about filling the line width to a certain column and structure text so as to minimize diff churn when you rewrite something. https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/
