Except that return/enter in word processors / text editors like Word, WP, Writer, vim, emacs et al still means return ...

And I probably use them a lot more than I use IRC/Chat/whatever. I think about the only time I use an app where "Enter" means "Send" is the work Slack client ...

Yes it is people-dependent, but for us old-schoolers, our daily grind still re-inforces "enter means return". :-)

Enter meaning send or return

At least in the chat clients I use, bar IRC which is line-oriented anyway, I can configure them such that Enter means "new line, don't send yet", and I use Shift-Enter to send. I've done this to work's Slack client, because Enter is muscle memory for me when I finish a logical line, and Shift-Enter is not, so I don't accidentally send things when writing longer resposnes.
