I think people got it backwards. Brace yourselves. You don't earn less money because you use tabs, but instead you use spaces because you earn more money. When I was working on my own small projects I was using tabs, or tabs combined with spaces, which yielded me not a lot of money. Once I started working for a big corporation, the coding standards mandated by the company meant I could only use spaces, because people couldn't be trusted to use a nice space/tab combination.
