- bmelton 16y agoAs it happens, I can't count. \t IS 8, though hopefully there's some other reason I got downvoted to -4 than that. Still though, my question remains. Is there a particular reason you prefer 4? Does it affect your workflow in any way or does it just 'look better' in the abstract? I'm curious.
- silvajoao 16y agoI use a single tab for indentation, and too much exposure to Java and the Eclipse default indentation size (4 spaces per tab) made me used to it. I also find it easier to look at python code indented by 4 spaces per tab. Since I also tend to limit line length to 80 chars, 8-spaces tabs would quickly use up precious space.

- metachris 16y agoI don't exactly know why, I just find it easier read with 4 spaces. Maybe a subconscious issue about the eyes having to move more with 8 spaces.
