Yes, but in case you pressed return to create a new line, but don't intend to continue writing there, not cleaning the whitespace on the line of the cursor is wrong:
Press return (getting indented new line), save, go to a different file. Later you find out that "Clean Whitespace" didn't do it's job, without any hint why.
(Ever added a new line to make code visually a bit more separated?)
