I use a similar one-phrase-per-line approach in my writing,
which is possible because of is single newlines are equivalent to space in .tex and .md files.
I usually go to the next line on each comma (indicating new phrase) or end of sentence.
Sometimes I split on `and` or a `because` etc. indicating the start of a new clause.
This approach helps A LOT to see when sentences get too long and unwieldy,
and it's great when moving large chunks of text,
since I can think in terms of whole lines and rarely have to cut/drag/select in the middle of a sentence.
It's great for diffing too.
Only problem is text tends to get very long, which is not a good fit for modern wide screen display.
I recently bought a monitor that rotates 90 degrees, which has drastically improved my editing
