I use the "one long line per paragraph" approach. The reason is simple: 
it is fairly simple to wrap the lines afterwards. It is far from simple 
to unwrap them if you have the hard line breaks. Also, with soft (or 
virtual) wrapping you can add or remove text without any hassle.

So, I cannot figure out any common situation where hard formatting would 
be significantly better.

Just my two eurocents.
