If I type a newline, I want a newline. I wont ever type a newline if I
don't want one, why should I?

That's not true. If autoformat is off, the editor still formats my
paragraph as, e.g., a justified block. It just doesn't do so if I
insert some text somewhere in the paragraph. If autoformat is on, the
editor does _always_ reformat what I write, which is very nice. I
would just like it very much if it didn't kill the little parts of
formatting (the newlines) I inserted myself. I don't really think it's
so difficult. Just look at what Word does: it formats all paragraphs
as justified block if I want that, but it doesn't kill any newlines,
which are taken as paragraph separators, of course.
