Tabs has no place in code, just recently I started a project with four space indentation, that quickly got changed to two.
Change your tab width, but tabs are literally made for indentation.
The reason I loathe tabs is that over time a codebase with tabs becomes mixed tabs and spaces and unless your editor shows tabs you can't see them.
In the end you have to choose either spaces or tabs, and enforce it with some lint tool.
I love compromises, so I use 3 spaces for indentation.
Some people just want to see the world burn 😁
It's warm and bright when everything burns.
