The IDE has an "Automatic Word Wrap" option that goes a long way to 
alleviating this need.

Also Strings can be split over lines.

Can't remember trying to split IF a AND b, maybe this is a good idea. 
(If it already doesn't work)

I do see your point, working with a lot of SQL queries I do appreciate 
SQL editors that let you format the boolean clauses in a way that makes 
it easier to groke the logic.

That's about all the help I can offer here.
