Hence the go-to recommendation is unix line-endings and a decent editor, because we're sure *that* expected setup will work. Anything else would just add 'noise' and complicate support. Better eliminate potential issues early, where we can.
Plus, one byte less per line, win/win ^^.
One of the many things that will not ever bear CR/LFs are shell scripts, for instance.

Well, then, notepad must not use CR/LFs, then, since I've written shell scripts using notepad.
