bro hasnt heard of an IDE before.
most will convert tab to space, or can be configured to. vim just has one command that can be put in vimrc
i agree with the web being overused for a lot of things, but if it were simply html/css (less js) it would be better
Of course I have, where did I say that I use spaces? I was making a comment based off of observations of web developers over the years and surprisingly a lot of them will mash the space bar all day. I shit you not. But go ahead and project that onto me for some reason?
ive never seen anyone whos not an absolute beginner, using notepad, spamming space for indents. i think most people know how to use tab->space conversion
I would say my observations were between 2006-2010 and this was at UC Berkeley. Again, I shit you not.
Extra tid bit: during the same time I watched a EECS student rage while using vim. I then watched them code Java in nano for the rest of the day…
