Am I missing something obvious, or is the text editor crap?
I pasted a poem into the editor and lost all the line breaks. I got paragraph breaks, but that's not gonna cut it.
I was seriously pumped to get started, World Anvil sounds great, but if they can't even manage line breaks... what else is broken?
Why is anyone paying for this?

I get the same problems and often have to go back and format passages several times until the formating finally sticks.
Try switching to the classic editor, the default one isn't great.
How do I do that, and what do paying customers use?
Go to accessibility and select Legacy under editor selection. There are three options, try each and see which works for your browser.
Paid users get access to a lot of other stuff, but the editor selection is the same.
Nope, same problem.
They can't do line breaks, and no one is bitching. Weird.
That's because it works fine for everyone else? Line breaks work just fine for me and show up when I view the article.
What operating system and browser are you using? I've used Firefox on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu and they seem to work fine. Haven't tried in Android yet though.
We don't have enough information to help you here. Try shift+enter?
I use Euclid, which is the "coding" editor. It largely ignores linebreaks, unless it's a double one. That allows me to manipulate breaks and paragraph breaks precisely by using [br] and [p][/p] respectively.
It's not quite raw HTML, but close enough to get a lot of control over my formatting.
Ok, this is what I’m seeing, thank you.
It does depend on what editor you use. In the classic and euclid editors, line breaks with no extra spacing

Can be made using a [br] at the end of the line. Line breaks with extra spacing

Can be made using two enters.
