Does anyone know of a text editor on Linux that allows me to see line breaks and carriage returns? Does Vim support this feature?

To disagree with the official answer:

:set list will not show ^M characters (CRs). Supplying the -b option to vi/vim will work. Or, once vim is loaded, type :e ++ff=unix.
