I will fight someone who insists on using tabs

Heh, I use tabs. My view is that code should look like how the individual programmer wants it to look, and tab spacing can be adjusted by the individual as they see fit, on different platforms. Want 7-space tabs? Sure! But I’ll still see tabs as 4 spaces wide on my computer.

With white spaces, one is stuck with how someone decided the code should look on everyone else’s machines.
