No, thanks. Reasonably short lines means I can get a good idea of what's going on by skimming in one direction: downwards. If there are lines that run off towards the eastern horizon, even if they fit on my screen, I still have to follow along them to make sure nothing of interest is being hidden. Plus, just getting the code to do the thing I want is enough work; let's not also start worrying about how to write code in such a way that most tools will understand how to wrap it. That sounds like bringing all the joys of CSS to my plain text. Because the tools are _not_ going to be perfect. Have you ever seen Perl code with punctuation in a comment at the end of a line, because some idiot syntax highlighter got confused about where a regex ended?
