When 13.3 is greater than 14

Soft-wrapped code tends to be pretty difficult to read though. Certainly much more difficult than wrapped prose. Personally I prefer horizontal scrolling over wrapping code pretty much always (at least on a mac where horizontal scrolling is easy).

Xcode used to be really good at softwrapping code. It was so useful with the assistant editor on a laptop screen. It got worse at some point around Xcode 8 or 9, which was a shame.

(further to this, I realised earlier that it got better again in Xcode 11 - it no longer double-indents wrapped lines)

I can't imagine an editor without soft wrap as the default.

Sublime, wordpad, vim all use soft wrap.
