It is a personal taste I guess. Other editors may have its own way of
displaying long lines and thus not need something like
auto-fill-mode. Some people actual hate automatically inserting hard
newlines. So when you are working with them, you don't want auto-fill to
get in the way.

It is a tex file something like this:

address@hidden@address@hidden
