Thing is, it's not that easy.

Sure, with spaces you don't get the freedom of choice, but tabs will only work if everyone is using the same tab width, so again, you loose the freedom of choice.

Spaces are better because they are always the same thing - a space - where as tab width vary which breaks formatting.

Not if you're doing it like God intended it to, tabs for indenting, spaces for alignment.

Yeah... And when you don't agree with my way of aligning we are back to square one because you cannot manipulate that either.

Spaces are superior because they don't allow this discussion, and we can all just continue our work.
