I think this discussion is mostly about variable line-move-visual.
Anyway, even though I like global line-move-visual=t indeed the feature
isn't completely mature yet. These both bugs appear only when
line-move-visual=t and are present in 23.0.96 and 23.1.50:

    "next-line and previous-line don't keep the column in text-scale-mode"

    "Strange cursor movement in truncation mode"
