I'm not trying to fight, I'm just being honest here.

Heh, I don't recall seeing any accusations about the ability of
your memory; I just wanted to raise my hand about "whitespace
changes being useless" which I feel that sometimes it's very
useful.

Every open a file in vi(1), not in an xterm, and have sentences
which break in the middle of a word onto another line?  Ever
arrow around the file jumping paragraphs at a time?  That is
an extreme annoyance.  :)
