From what I tested, at least editing .txt, .c and .cc files did that.
It hinders me in the few cases where I really *don't* want that
newline at the end. I have always liked emacs exactly because it doesn't
add (or remove) *anything* I don't explicitly instruct it to, no matter
which file I edit. This seems to be more an exception than a rule with
text editors (especially in Windows). I don't need the text editor to
"think for me" in this case.
