I've never seen code with a long comment unbroken. 120 columns maybe, but never like 1000.
What if the comment were indented? In most editors, the wrapped part would start at column 0 and break the appearance of indentation.

I do wrap my code comments because that's what people expect and want indeed.
On the projects I work professionally we also have a hard limit at 120 characters enforced by checkstyle, so no choice. On personal projects it's usually 80, maybe I should relax that a bit, 120 is quite nice actually.
