I don't find it difficult.
I find editing difficult any time I'm editing a file with lines of more than about 79 chars or with (unspeakable) words of more that about 20 chars, particularly when several or more very similar long words are on adjacent or nearly adjacent lines.
I just copy-paste them; and labels are shorter, when they can be used.
Kernel lines in menu.lst that include strings like /dev/disk/by-label/ata-ST3320620AS_6QF3PJXC-part10 invariably are longer than a typical editor window width, and thus wrap, besides including words around 50 chars long.
They don't wrap on the editors I use, or I disable wrapping. I use joe or mcedit.
The same goes for lines in fstab when the options column contains more than just "defaults" and/or when fstab is tabbed out for ease of reading instead of just spaced.
I use very long lines in fstab. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
