It's made for VCS. If you add something to the end, you're changing only one line instead of two. Same for removing a line.

The general rule is that the code must be comfortable for the reader's eyes, not for the VCS.

However, this style may be appropriate for some kinds of projects.

Languages should allow trailing commas everywhere. This would solve the problems for everyone.
