Make my life easier.. we could use a [command/option] + return to prevent the double space or, the other way around.

I don't think we'd ever break with OS X system wide behavior. Return should
act as return does in every other text editor. If what you actually want
here isn't two paragraph breaks inserted every time you hit return BUT
actually more space between every paragraph (but a single paragraph break
inserted) to enhance readability: it is possible we could add a preference
setting for "paragraph spacing". I like that idea, and will put it on the
list.

if you do, in fact, want two paragraph breaks inserted every time you hit
return, you might want to look at customizing your key bindings; which you
can ready about here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html

I'm talking about single paragraph. A normal return inserts no paragraph at
all as far as know.

Right, and this is standard paragraph behavior, and I agree with elasticthreads on this one. The paragraph insert on return with line break on shift-enter is a common Rich Text editing feature, but for the time being we're not otherwise behaving as a rich text editor. If/when we get to adding Markdown highlighting and more Markdown editing features, I would consider this, though.
