I don't like those extra blanks/tabs either. Personally I don't think of it as a coding style issue, more a sort of OCD on my part; I just don't like knowing they're there.
Xcode now has an option to automatically trim trailing whitespace (Preferences > Text Editing > Editing), which I was very happy about for this reason.
