It's better for one to do one's own wrapping.
for instance

put field "myField" of cd "myCard" of stack "myStack" into field "myField2"
of cd "nextCard" of stack "otherStack"

is a horrible jumble of garbage to the eyes, but

 put\

                  field "myField" \

                  of cd "myCard" \

                  of stack "myStack" \

                  into field "myField2" \

                  of cd "nextCard" \

                  of stack "otherStack"


makes a lot of sense. Automatic wrapping can't do that. And it's easier to
edit the references. And the compiler and indenter both are happy with it.
And one can make the edit window narrower.

A good point, well illustrated.

Another benefit of adding line wraps manually is that it requires you to read the code at least well enough to find usful line breaks, sometimes a useful task when inheriting a code base.
