Fwiw, I've never really liked two spaces after a period and rereading that confirms it.

To me it causes some mild confusion (if that's the right word — maybe too strong a word) with paragraph breaks. It's just too big a gap. For me it decreases readability if anything.

The dot symbol has ambiguity without extra spaces.

Mean different things. It’s rarely an issue, and not necessarily used correctly, but it is still a valuable tool.

Whitespace is frippery.
