Why not use the markdown way to deal with long lines?

I stumbled over Gemini a while ago and today tried to setup my first
blog post.

I take issue with the fact that a paragraph has to be one long line. I
think the markdown way is perfect: Two newlines create a paragraph.
Period. This way, everyone can write maintaining the common width of 80
characters, and it will still be displayed as intended.

For the first time in a long while I started to search neovim's help to
find out if there's any way to have long lines and still work with them
productively. Softwrap on or off doesn't do the trick, it's rather
annoying when you want to edit something in the mid of a huge
paragraph. `30w cw`...

My life would be more easy if I could just do what I always did and
wrap at 80. Considering Gemini will mostly target software people, I
think that's appropriate.

But if anyone here can provide me with a clever (neovim) trick to deal
with these long lines, I'm open to hear about it.
