No, I'm not a hacker :) Feeding stuff thru tidy/untidy can do wonders...
Seriously, *your* ideal column width and *my* ideal
column width are not
always going to be the same. If your lines are longer than my edit box,
I see ragged broken lines and text does *not* look nice. If your lines
are shorter than my edit box, I see a lot of annoyingly short lines and
text does *not* look nice. This has been an endemic problem for years in
email and usenet, and I've no desire to see it in wiki.
There is some truth in your statement. But: for editing purposes
jumping line length don't hurt that much (Emacs hat M-q to work around
those problems...) and more important I simply depend on broken
lines -- grep, sed and awk work best on those line.
And don't tell me a webbrowser's built-in editor is a proper tool to
write articles ;)
