It's true; you could use syntax highlighting or IDE features to make things more obvious. You could also turn on syntax highlighting in Whitespace.

This is, of course, significantly more ridiculous than an IDE helping you out with your CoffeeScript, so don't take my teasing too seriously ;)



My response was meant in much the same tone as yours; I use vim and, while I have never needed visible whitespace, I don't have any indication that its an easy thing to do.
