    Yeah I get it that it’s one of -those- issues. I can live with the trailing comma at the end of a line, but a trailing comma on its own line triggers me badly, it tells my subconscious that “something is missing here”.

    I understand the argument around diffs, but I spend way longer looking at code than I do diffs of code.

      (Replying just for the chit chat - no criticism of opposite views implied)

      For me it’s not even about the diffs, but like if you want to bulk edit the lines with a multi cursor, or copy and paste to add some new lines, it helps if they’re all uniform

          I’m sorry you got downvoted, I totally get that trailing commas are ‘grammatically’ wrong and would look weird.

          But I find these kind of common edits a bit of a pain in formats like JSON or SQL which don’t allow trailing comma. So I was happy to use a linter which enforces them, and then I got very used to them being there.
