I do remember one situation though; when sharing prose documents on cvs/svn. Merging paragraphs is easier if these are kept as hard wrapped. Other than that, I'm clueless to why anyone would want to use it, when column width/resolution/font size differ so much today ;)
I am pretty sure that is exactly why one would want to do it; that and when working with the document on other editors that don't wrap nicely.
