I probably would for JavaDoc, but less sure for code (my brain isn't advanced enough to see wrapped code as anything but totally unreadable, so I most likely wouldn't use it for code anyway).
If they DO implement auto-wrapping for JavaDoc, I'd prefer that IDEA handle backspacing intelligently, too. For example, if I'm typing the following JavaDoc and IDEA auto-wraps after the word anything (the | character on the next line represents the cursor):
...and then I hit BACKSPACE, IDEA should remove that new line automatically and put the cursor after the g in anything. That is, if IDEA is auto-wrapping, I shouldn't have to worry about deleting the asterisk and two spaces that it auto-inserted as well.

Apparently there isn't. Would folks want dynamic wrapping?

I second the motion. Maybe have it for code and javadoc, but be user config'd.
Ok. I just put up the feature request #10589:
