Throw this in your .vimrc set textwidth=75 This sets the maximum length of a line to 75 characters. If a word puts you over 75, that word will be wrapped to the next line (like a emacs-type editor). Also, if your line _does_ get really long (because you concat multiple lines, or some such), just hit gq$ in command mode (but no colon), and your giant line will be broken up into "window width"-long lines. It's nifty. Try giving the docs a read before you just give up on a far-superior editor.
