I am very content with Riders "hide whitespace and newlines" diff option. Frankly after starting to use auto format on code, all old files that got messy in the diffs next time they were changed.
There's some other nitpicks that some more aware diff could have but outside python few changes in whitespace matters, so seeing every new line is a waste and visual burden in any review for me.
