The "opposition" such as it is, seems just as religious in its zeal. 
IOW, if you want the conversation to stick to the technical issues,
please stick to them yourself.

As a _user_, I generally support display-time word-wrapping (call it
"DTWW"), because have to deal with editing such text too, and
traditionally it's been a pain to do that with Emacs (though
longlines-mode has done a great job with everything I've thrown at it
so far).

As an Emacs hacker, though, my concern with DTWW is what interaction
it would have with the assumptions made by lisp code; supporters seem
to generally assume that the only modification required will be some
support in `line-move' to make C-n/C-p move by physical lines instead
of logical lines when DTWW is turned on in a buffer.
