As someone who writes academic essays and prose, I can't live without this plugin. I will constantly need to write multiple page paragraphs, and it's incredibility more convient to be able to navigate within a paragraph as if it was multiple lines, as opposed to needing to perform some horizontal motion gymnastics to get the cursor where I need it to be.

Hat's off to everyone who has worked on this plugin!

I usually do one line per sentence when writing papers. But a co-author will usually mess that up, so I could see some value to a plugin…

Ahh I thought I was the only one! One line per sentence makes the diffs so much nicer too, maybe we need git hooks to reject multiple sentences per line?

Also IMO, sentences are a more useful logical grouping. I might want to swap sentence orders, so having the quick dd then p command is nice. Paragraphs get moved occasionally but it is rare enough that I don’t mind grabbing them as if they are a collection of sentences.

You can just do `git diff --word-diff` and then the diffs look great even with one paragraph per line.

I used to do one sentence per line, but after getting used to how Emacs handles soft-wrapping, I now do one paragraph per line—also when I use Vim. This also makes collaboration with other authors easier, since most non-vim collaborators do that.
