Thanks!

The whitespace structure was inspired by programming, where
    with extremely few exceptions, there is always one statement per line.
It makes the code way easier to read and edit.
It had occurred to me that 
    the only reason we don't do the same thing in English is because it wastes paper.
But I'm like "What paper?".
Editing is much easier, since
    the major plaintext editors,
        being designed for programming,
    have very good support for linewise editing.
It is extremely awesome for nuking and reordering sentences.
Sentence structure of long sentences can also be made more clear
    with some tactical line breaks and indentation.
