Forewarning: This is a futile poll, and is merely just a preference, or maybe a requirement for some to use one or the other, but I ask which and why you use while scripting/coding.
LET THE EPIC BATTLE BEGIN.
When I used to script in AMXX, and now when I'm coding I use tabs.
But often times I see some people say they prefer spaces (they set tab to insert to place N number of spaces, and shift+tab to remove those spaces).
I can see that in some situations tabs aren't recognized so they end up screwing up a section of code that was copy/pasted or cut/pasted to a new window, so I can see why spaces are sometimes better, but I find that Tabs help a lot with auto aligning things like if you are declaring multiple variables of different types, and you want to align the next column.
I also see that in some browsers, if you have more then one space next to each other, it would remove any additional spaces.
Meh. Just a few points that I've seen summed up:
-Pro Tab: Some programs remove extra spaces placed next to each other automatically, especially some browser type text boxes.
-Pro Tab: When using tab key to place in spaces, I am not aware if it will automatically align to the next 'column'
-Pro Space: Some programs let you make the tab key insert spaces instead of a tab.
-Pro Space: Some programs, or text fields may not accurately register a tab, and instead create problems in your code when you copy paste from that textbox later on.
I guess I'm a lil more tab prone.
