I suppose if you followed the often suggested rule of no long lines in 
code, this wouldn't be an issue ;-)

I haven't, and, in fact, some broadly used editors (cough*emacs*cough) 
don't do soft wrap well at all, so I'd be disinclined to not wrap comments.

A good editor should be able to hard wrap comments well for you though.
