Just for the record, [[Ward Cunningham]] said at the WikiSym Creole Workshop that when he first invented wikis in 1995, browsers didn't support adding line breaks to a textarea field. From that precedence, wikis run the way they do today with regards to line breaks.
However, having said that, I have to say that I agree with Radomir. In [[Drupal]], text areas are HTML filtered (with automatic line breaks). I can't remember how many times I've been very annoyed by wanting to paste in information from another source and having to try to remove all the line breaks. Also, in one Drupal system, I installed the [[TinyMCE]] plugin and it completely destroyed all the line breaks. I realize this is a design flaw of TinyMCE, but still...
In any case, it's really infuriating. So, both ways have their disadvantages, and I strongly believe line breaks in wikis should follow the traditional wiki pattern.
