It's not that bad and it allows you to make overlong lines without
breaks, like for urls. Just make your changes and don't worry about the
paragraph line lengths just yet. When you're done edit one of your lines
above the area that needs to be reformatted. Hit the end key and then
delete making the line too long. Type space and everything below will
reformat to the given line wrapping. It takes some getting use to but I
like it now :)
