Agreed. I do use empty lines all the time, but death to unnecessary spaces.

It would also be nice if variable/procedure/etc. names were 
autocorrected to use the case/capitalization of their declarative 
statement. This is already done for things like Print, Public, Private, 
Dim, Inc, Return, etc. For example:

Public SoEasyToRead As String

Print soeasytoread ' "soeasytoread" should be autocorrected, just like 
"print" is, to match the case of the declaration "SoEasyToRead".

Public Function LovelyProcedureName(Input As String) As String
   ' Blah, blah.
End Sub

Print lovelyprocedurename("Please make me lovely") ' 
"lovelyprocedurename" should be autocorrected to match the function 
declaration "LovelyProcedureName".

Also, changing the case of the declaration should automatically change 
the case throughout the program. If that's too CPU intensive to do in 
real-time, it could be done at compile or execution time.
