Using \r is not necessary as far as I know. It used to tell old typewriters to move the railcarriage to left after beginning a new line. Else, you would get something like
Line 1
<whitespace>Line2
Nowadays this is mostly done automatically, so using \r is no longer needed (although its usage is still possible).
