I've found it works well when I remember it is there. :) There is a “prefs search” feature in 8.5, but for some reason it is hidden in the “drawer”.

I upgraded to 8.5 yesterday, and I've actually started using soft wrapping now that it's indented "correctly". I also like the changes in the interface, especially that they've moved the encoding and linebreak dropdowns to the bottom statusbar, instead of those annoying old buttons. I had some problems figuring out how to turn off "Check Spelling as You Type" by default, which leads me to my main gripe: the prefs dialog. It needs some restructuring to make it easier and more intuitive to use (to me, anyway).
