I wouldn't say necessary, of course. It's -- at least -- my
preference. For _my_ use case, it's useful. When I move code
around, and that code is at the end of the file or to be put
at the end of the file, I find it easier to already have a
blank line there. That is... Because that's how I use vim to
code.
