Shanapu... You almost gave me cancer. Also Silicone Vallay discussion about it was insanly great.

Shouldn't your editor take care of it? I mean you press tab but it inserts the configured amount of spaces?

I press TAB and it follows whatever is being used already in the opened file. That allows me to always use tabs but be consistent throughout the project. Also VSCode on backspace doesn't delete just 1 space, but how many are used for indentation (in case you are realigning stuff). It's lovely.

I'm actually starting to lean towards spaces, especially since you can make the TAB key input X amount of spaces with the editor your using. Using Shift+TAB would remove the 4 spaces or indent character, after a while you forget which one you're even using. Plus it's easier to just remove all \t and replace them with 4 spaces then it is replacing 4 spaces with a \t character.

I find using multiple spaces in place of a tab sickening.

I tab instead of space unless the project I'm working on was originally written to use spaces...

Using spaces and just missing one space can cause an indentation error within the compiler depending on the editor you use I believe, it still compiles however for cleaner code and removal of these errors i prefer using tabs myself.

also, tab master race. for html, when i start running tabs off the edge of the screen, that's when i switch to a 1 space indent, i.e.

<example>
 <example>
  <example>
   <example>
    <ul>
     <li></li>
    </ul>
   </example>
  </example>
 </example>
</example>

starting to think i should switch to spaces 100%...
