To distinguish paragraph breaks from newlines (without meaning),
LaTeX uses double newlines.
For Emacs it would just mean that only hard newlines are saved, but
not the ones that are purely visual.
Sorry, that is out of the question, as I've said already.
Paragraphs must not be saved as single long lines in files.
There are many programs in the GNU system that people use to operate
on files. (grep is one.) Files work well in the GNU system when they
have natural line breaks in them. That's how we will continue to
store text in files.
What was the reason for that again?
Other editors use this without problems.
Which are these other editors? I bet they are closed systems,
designed with the expectation that the text will only be accessed
through that editor.
That's not the basis for designing Emacs.
