You think you are doing others a favor by using tabs, but in fact you are creating a hassle instead. When I open your tabbed code the first thing I have to do is run it through some script that replaces all tabs with spaces, so that the files will be formatted the same way as the rest of the code base.
- dTal 9y agoSome script? You mean the built in Unix utility 'expand'? Supposing I submitted code indented with spaces, but the wrong number. Would making the formatting match be easier, or harder? Maybe you should just use tabs in your codebase.
- MikkoFinell 9y agoMaybe you should use the right number of spaces in your codebase.
- dTal 9y agoBut what's the "right number"? Space enthusiasts can't agree. Tabbers know how many tabs to use: one, per indent.
