So yes, eliminating tabs (or rather the execrable requirement of using tabs) was absolutely a prime goal.

Put this in ~/.editorconfig [Makefile] indent_style = tab And install the plugin, which is available for most editors and IDEs. http://editorconfig.org/ http://editorconfig.org/

It's not a requirement - I give you: .RECIPEPREFIX > If you prefer to prefix your recipes with a character other than tab, you can set the .RECIPEPREFIX variable to an alternate character That said, how hard is it really to disable tab expansion in your editor? I have a block of configuration dedicated to the different indentation requirements of different programming and configuration languages. In more modern editors, I don't even have to do anything at all to edit Makefiles with tabs - they come pre-configured to do the right thing.
