I'll make no claims on easiness, but Emacs with IDLWAVE (idlwave.org)
can fold text in about any way you want. For instance, you can
justify comment lines like this:

;=========================================================== ==================
; ShowEvent - Handle events from the show interface, or dispatch to
; the appropriate method
;=========================================================== ==================

quite trivially. You can also split strings in the middle with a
simple keystroke, intelligently indent complex statements with
continuations, etc.

Note that the latest versions of emacs have IDLWAVE included so you
don't need to download and install anything new. Mine is 21.1.1 and it
was just there.
