I’m not a programmer, and I use vim. But I must admit that writing

darkroom-like for linux).
The thing who helped me is the « linespace » option, which permit to
add space beetween lines and made a huge text more readable.
Other « problem », if you don’t use LaTex, and don’t want to break
lines, you can’t have realy long lines in word-wrap mode. If the line
take mor than a screen hight, the text become not readable. You must
cut the line / paragraph.
Last, I realy miss a proportionnal font. Whatever one say, a clean
proportionnal font, with ligatures, is great for writing. If gvim
could use pango or wathever I’ll be realy happy ! (I saw that it’s
possible on emacs-gui, but I realy prefer the ergonomi in vim).
Nothing’s never perfect !
Actually, on X11 systems, gvim with GTK2 GUI does use Pango, but it
still uses a fixed-size character cell. GTK2 gvim will allow you to set
any installed font as 'guifont', but proportional fonts look ugly then,
because in the fixed-size cell, thin characters such as l look lonely
and fat one such as m look cramped or even clipped.
Here's my ":version" diplay, showing that Pango is included:
