Despite modern editors having the ability to eliminate redundant whitespace when saving the file automatically, people are still upset by PSSA pointing out whitespace for whitespace-only lines by the rule
PSAvoidTrailingWhitespace. Until the rule is customisable for that with a potential change of the default behaviour, it is probably better to not have this rule enabled by default. This rule got enabled by default in version1.8.0of the vscode extension along with other rules.References:
