"Ignore Whitespace Only Lines" Should be on by default

[BruceKnowsHow]

Obviously "Remove Trailing Whitespace" is a controversial default setting. "Ignore Whitespace Only Lines" seems like a reasonable way to mitigate most of the issues people are having. At least in my case, it would have prevented all of this from happening.

Also the settings menu is pretty unintuitive. Of the 5 settings, 3 of them relate to "Remove Trailing Whitespace" exceptions, however all 3 of these settings appear above "Remove Trailing Whitespace" on the menu. Here's how I think it could be arranged. Alternatively, it would be even better if there was a hierarchy.

This is the most infuriating aspect of Atom. Especially since it seems to reset once in a while (upgrades?). Why is an editor telling me how it wants my code? Some projects keep their code pre-indented. Having the editor sneakily strip white-spacing on empty lines without asking me is painfully frustrating when you only notice it right before commit, and see your one-line edit has turned into dozens of changes. Atom should focus on being the great editor it is, and let developers decide how to use it.
