>Why wouldn't you wrap source?
Line endings have significance in some languages. Even in languages where they don't, it can confuse you by looking like the end of an indentation level.

- DougBTX 18y agoIt means you can't scan down the left hand side of the editor looking at indentation, you've got to double check with the existence/non-existence of line numbers. For the same reason that it is easier to read left-aligned text than it is to read right-aligned text, though not quite as bad since not all lines are "wrong".
