This is the meaning I'd apply to it... http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/horses+for+courses.html ...and that's the sentiment I used it with. >> I *hate* word-wrapping!

For me, I "lose context" when the next "line" is actually a continuation of the previous. Of course, I avoid long lines where possible (refactor and rewrite to get rid of them), but where I come across them (for instance looking at a CSV) I want no wrapping! :-) > Anyway, we're going way off topic here, so I probably shouldn't go on.
