Vim does soft wrap, but it only wraps at the edge of the screen. It
can also be set to soft wrap at word breaks instead of in the middle
of words.
Furthermore, you can have vim insert hard line breaks automatically
for you when you write/edit a paragraph. You can find out more if you
search for 'fo-table'. If you are writing in really plain text, this
might be the way to go.
Unfortunately, even with these options, this is an area that vim seems
to fall down a little bit on. Other text editors I've used have the
capability to soft wrap at user defined columns, while also matching
the indent of the first line with the soft wrapped lines.
Maybe patch #9 on the Vim Patches page (Correctly indent wrapped lines)
would do what you're looking for?

No idea of its current status.
