the lack of a `gq` equivalent to reflow a paragraph, which julia mentioned, was the nail in the coffin for me when I tried it.

It's a nice project though, I just use that feature constantly

in kakoune, this is `<a-i>p<a-j>|reflow<ret>`. which is obviously not as simple as `gq`, but you can rebind this, add things like auto-reflow as you type, etc., rather trivially, and rebind them (and a lot of these types of tools come preloaded as bindable commands). it's some work to set up this type of thing (and it makes perfect sense to use e.g. vim to not need to do that), but i like the composable design, where i can write some configuration to hook a shell command to a bind, rather than fork and PR changes (e.g. a c++ reflow function), and the config files can be written and PRd into the default distribution as well, so the user experience would be equivalent.

is `reflow` a binary that comes with kakoune or something?
