Boggle.

Are you saying you don't use hard wrapping?

Anyway I dunno about vim, but in Emacs it's configurable:
    (setq line-move-visual nil) ; I am *not* a NOTEPAD.EXE refugee!

By default in Emacs 23+ <down> will move to the next visible line,
so if you have an 80x25 tty and you're at character 20 of a 400
character line, <down> will actually move you to character 100 of the
same (soft-wrapped) line.

(Or near enough -- my math may be off.)

SURELY that's equally configurable in vim.
