Nah, that's OK. With patches it's much easier to make trivial changes, such as deleting the trailing whitespace that everybody seems to love so much... ;-)

Yeah, that does make it pretty hard to ignore, doesn't it? ;-)

Emacs users can (and should!) consider:
(setq show-trailing-whitespace t)
Anything similar for vi and gvim?

:set list
but in either case this just shows you the stuff, it doesn't remove it.
If it's a persistent problem, a simple filter is easier to use. I find Python's rstrip string method useful for this, i.e. if you have a line of text in 'line',
line = line.rstrip()
saves a new copy of the line with the trailing whitespace removed.

I think that's how it should be... removing it on existing files w/o care is bad.

For new files sure, for existing files I would rather people ensure hunsk they edit and linees they edit contain no/few whitespace changes.
