On IBM mainframe terminals (327X) tabs were used for moving between entry fields. So it is/was basically impossible to use tabs in text for formatting. I'm not even sure if EBCDIC has tabs? I don't really care that much, Go says tabs so whatever. But spaces have the benefit (or drawback to some) of rendering exactly the same way for everyone (assuming fixed width fonts, does anyone code with proportional fonts?). Also I've always got two thumbs on the space bar. And it's much bigger than the tab key. So settled then?
