I usually try to keep paragraphs small because it's more easily readable and helps me structure my thoughts without getting too longwinded. Joyce could afford multi-page sentences, but I have no hope to keep the reader engaged for so long.
But that doesn't mean it would be better split by some weird interface into separate pieces, each paragraph floating around detached from the next. When I see people trying to fit their good thoughts into that format and then resorting to all kinds of third party tools in order to reassemble the resulting mess back into coherent text - I can't help pitying them. Why would they subject themselves and their thoughts to this kind of torture?
