I cannot speak for the original poster, but I can tell you why I dislike
it. When I want a blank line in the middle of an aligned block, it
inserts unnecessary spaces into the line, which I then feel obligated to
go back and remove. I realize that it's only a couple of bytes, but
dangling whitespace is still a sloppy coding style, and I don't want it in
my code.
Thus, when I want a blank line in Xcode I've had to learn to type
"RETURN-DELETE-RETURN-TAB", instead of just hitting return twice. None of
the other editors I use (Visual Studio, vi, emacs) have this problem.
For what it's worth, this has come up on this list before. There doesn't
seem to be a solution.
