Not really. Think more along the lines of having a page of c code
with a really long line in it, and instead of having it get chopped off at
80 chars having it folded. It's more of a "pretending we're an infinitely
wide editor" thing than a different approach to text flowing altogether.

Most if not all emacses do this by default, give it a try, it really grows
on you.
