Tabs > spaces
Tabs does allow you to set the spacing you need.
Spaces are like hardcoding passwords
Yeah, tabs are larger spaces, what's your point?

You may be right, but I still have an unreasonable hate for tabs in code
Tabs for indenting and spaces for aligning. There. Everybody wins and loses.
This way the code always looks aligned and if you prefer 4 spaces for a tab instead of 2 or 3 or 8 you can just set it in your IDE.
Crisis averted!
