Uhm. Why is this annoying, other than the fact that it shows up in your git commits?
If you use Vim from the terminal to edit text (which I do), trailing whitespace shows up as big white blocks. It's slightly visually distracting, but it's really just an OCD thing.
No.
Absence or presence of trailing whitespaces is sometime significant, such as in big ereg in re.VERBOSE mode in Python.
Therefore, it must be visible, and if it is visible it must be removed when it has no use.
