Tabs versus spaces

Using spaces and tabs in the same project is just the worst. Otherwise either is OK, but spaces are better.

Reason I don’t use spaces for indenting is because people never adhere to indenting size. Some like it big, others like it small.

By using tabs, everyone gets to see it as they like without screwing up alignment.

Yes it means your claimed ability to handle fine details is tested but in a world where most use tabs it uses the best of both worlds and allows dynamic margin alignment which some newbs need.
 
Tabs, my IDE can handle the conversion for me if others used spaces, and others can have their IDE change it to spaces.
