The way vi handles lines is good for source code but not good for documents. The up/down commands should go to the previous/next line of ~80 characters not the previous/next paragraph.

Boggle. Are you saying you don't use hard wrapping? Anyway I dunno about vim, but in Emacs it's configurable: (setq line-move-visual nil) ; I am *not* a NOTEPAD.EXE refugee! By default in Emacs 23+ <down> will move to the next visible line, so if you have an 80x25 tty and you're at character 20 of a 400 character line, <down> will actually move you to character 100 of the same (soft-wrapped) line. (Or near enough -- my math may be off.) SURELY that's equally configurable in vim.
