I am asking - is this normal in any decent editor NOT to have an option to remove "white space" in between lines of code?
being answered with
Yes, the option to remove blank lines doesn't usually exist.
is a direct, clear answer to your question, and certainly doesn't justify your reaction:
Answering questions is also a skill , especially without unasked / uncalled for preaching and other innuendos and insults.
I have no idea why you show this kind of reaction to a simple (and correct) answer to exactly what your were asking for.

Then: To remove blank lines in Notepad++, I first delete all trailing spaces at end of lines (NP++ has a command for that). Then I replace two consecutive newlines with one newline. NP++ can handle both ISO standard, Mac and *nix newlines, and you have to specify the correct format for the search to match, and you have to select 'Search mode: Extended'.

I guess that any editor that can match on newlines of various kinds can be used in a similar way to remove blank lines.
