As one data point, I'm working on a set of programs to represent mark-up
in buffers with the help of text properties and mark-up. Those get very
confused with the newlines inserted by longlines-mode whereas they work
flawlessly with v-l-m (it has been mentioned upthread that l-l-m
modifies the buffer, so this is a confirmation that yes, v-l-m seems
much more probable to interact well with other apps).
