Personally, i find moving by visual line is not just a good feature,
but a critical one, with consequences that effect the evolution of
language design and thinking, long term. The hard-coded lines is
fundamentally introduced by unix and C gang, and brain damaged a whole
generation of coders.

This is why UNIX and C accomplish things. They were based upon accomplishing something useful rather than promoting an ideology.

It sounds like Microsoft Word is more suitable for the sort of work that you do. Perhaps you ought to use Word instead of seeking to make emacs become more like Word.
