C-e is bound to org-end-of-line which does the stutter step when you
have a wide buffer in a narrow window: it stops at the first previously
invisible character[fn:1]. If you have a very wide screen (e.g. a table
with a hundred columns or something like that) it might take a few steps
before you get to the end of the line.

But the main reason for org-end-of-line's existence is its behavior on
headlines (and the setting of org-special-ctrl-a/e is very relevant).
C-h f org-end-of-line RET and C-h v org-special-ctrl-a/e RET make
for enlightening reading.

Footnotes:

[fn:1] well, it's invisible if truncate-lines is t - part of the problem
of describing the bahavior is the settings of all these flags. Tables look
ugly if wrapped, so you probably want truncate-lines set to t anyway.
