Hi Peter,
I asked some of the other core devs but nobody knew a reason other than
"we had to decide one way or the other so we just went with Unix-style
line endings". It's just a convention, like the "two spaces for
indentation" rule.
To answer your question with another, why would you want to punish
yourself by using an editor that can't even deal with different kinds of
line endings? ;)
Regards,
Daniel
