Where does using vim to insert four Spaces everytime I press tab leave me?

  A brilliant automation solution!

  That's spaces. Or at least that's what I answered when I took this survey and I do the same thing in vim and all other IDEs.

  Correct

  Yea, I'm honestly surprised this is a thing still. I've not thought about the tab vs spaces "war" in years; because of Vim. I just hit Tab and whatever the pre-defined standard is, be it tabs or spaces and space count, is used. Visually I can have it display in my editor of choice (Kakoune at the moment) however I want. I guess I'm just saying, I would have thought the most common answer to this question would be: Whatever my employer / language standards dictate.

    Employer and language has a lot to do with how much you make. Imagine that half of those interviewed worked at Google.

    i'm surprised people manually insert tabs/spaces. vim automatically indents for me and even if it didn't, formatting the code is one keybind away...

Sounds like a good time to start developing in Whitespace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_(programming_langua...

Anything less than 16 is literally blasphemy, in the modern world everyone is using 4k 32:9 monitors and for the best level of readability heavy indentation may as well be mandatory.
