For what it's worth, I've never used it, have never spoken to anyone who
mentioned using it (certainly no one in IRC has sought help with it to
my recollection), and a quick search on Google doesn't find any
interesting results about switching to vertical mode (mostly
documentation and developer notes).

Can't agree more. 
I feel that it's not worth maintaining the functionality, considering the complexity it adds to the code. 
I am also in favor of removing it.
