Any Emacs user that doesn't use `(setq require-final-newline t)' in
their .emacs or similar and has to suffer because of it has made their
bed... :-) The number of wasted hours I've seen over the years due to
Emacs's stupidity in this respect and how each user has to discover it,
sometimes more than once.
A better choice in my opinion, at least if you sometimes edit
non-text-files, is `(setq require-final-newline 'ask)'. Missing the
last newline is about as common as editing a file that will break if
you add a newline, for me (both are pretty rare occasions).
