Then it might intrigue you further to know that I, too, am bothered
by the white space issue, but in the opposite way. I won't use
editors that add white space around the text because it leaves me to
wonder whether I had inadvertently inserted an unintentional indent.
It's one of many deal-breakers for me when it comes to choosing a
text editor.

Xen and I both have valid reasons for the way we prefer the text to
be presented, and neither of us likes to use tools that don't meet
our requirements. I also totally understand how distracting the
alternative can be, and wouldn't intentionally subject myself to it
either.

Software is a very personal choice. If I suddenly took away your text
editor and replaced it with [random text editor of my choosing] and
said that you can only use that one from now on, you might find some
things about it that bother you or that you outright can't stand. You
might also find some things about it that you really like or at least
can be satisfied with. It's also possible you'll completely love or
completely hate it. It all depends on how well it meets your needs
and wants.

One of my biggest deal-breakers is a text editor that decides for me
what the beginning of a line is if the line contains an indent. In
some text editors, if I press the Home button, it goes to the
beginning of the line. In others, it goes to the beginning of the
indent. In my little world, a polite text editor will offer a choice
of which behavior you prefer.
