Whitespace characters (tabs, spaces, etc) at end of line are rarely meant to be there; they are usually there by accident. If you don't want them, maybe it pays to highlight them with an alarming color. (After all, GNU Emacs has it (show-trailing-whitespace), so why not in vim :-) )
Put this in your ~/.vimrc to highlight the whitespace characters at end of line:
highlight WhitespaceEOL ctermbg=red guibg=red
match WhitespaceEOL /\s\+$/
