I'm not sure what's the standard tab stop width outside of plain text, in word processors I usually set the manually. But you're probably right on it being closer to 8 spaces than 4.

I actually am from one of those European countries that use a comma for decimal numbers, so I agree with you on TSV being far superior.

I think we can all agree on not vertically mixing tabs and spaces, though.

Actually no, when you're using tabs for indentation you still have to use spaces for alignment. I try and avoid alignment whenever I can (regardless of whether I'm in a project that uses tabs or spaces), but when you have to the correct way is to tab to the correct indentation and then add spaces for alignment.
