It's not a bug, it's a feature! (programming.dev)

I've noticed a small issue with my email client for quite some time now where composing a new email will have several blank lines by default.

It's not too much of an issue to simply delete them but hey, maybe no one had pointed this out before! So I filed a bug report only to get this response... basically it's not a bug, its a feature!

That's actually an accessibility feature intended to keep the eye level roughly at the same position; the person saying "I hate it when editors do it" is really not understanding why this is a feature and not a bug.

That's not fair. They're complaining that they don't like it, and that they want to be able to turn it off. They didn't say it shouldn't exist

Exactly!

In this case, if this is truly a feature and there are people with actual use cases for it (please let me know!) then make it an option, and not a default one.

I mean, I don't like it, and I'm kinda fine with it being the default if most of the people want it. I just think we should be able to turn it off.
