I've been writing my text documents in vim using hard line breaks and
reflowing the text as needed with gqap (via a shortcut).

Then I saw this blog post

http://tech.geoff.me/2008/05/vim-word-processor.html

and tried using Vim in a more word processor-y mode, with soft line
wrapping.

After about a week of that, I went back to the EOLs. I just liked the
hard wrapping better, and it made my text files work better with tools
like grep, diff, and git.

I'm little sad however to see an increase in soft wrapped README files
in software source code (particular in Ruby), which can be attributed
I'm sure to the rise of GUI text editors like TextMate.

Thoughts?
