I'd like to add a little bit to the discussion we had about line lengths. To a certain extent, longer lines are unavoidable, but many can be reduced.

One technique I use in vim is the capability to reformat a paragraph. If the text to be reformatted is delimited with blank lines, you only have to have the cursor on one of the lines of the subject paragraph and in normal mode type gqap. (lowercase G Q A P). That command often saves me a lot of time.

I also can also repeat the command after moving the cursor with a . (dot) so reformatting multiple paragraphs can be done quite rapidly.
