How would using tabs break your vertical alignment? You'd still get the exact same alignment but instead of pressing space four times, you just press tab once.

How would using tabs break your vertical alignment? You'd still get the exact same alignment but instead of pressing space four times, you just press tab once. Most IDEs will either convert tabs to spaces or auto-indent based on the language-specific rules anyway, so I really don't understand this argument either way.
- greglindahl 8y agoWhy would you press space four times? I hit tab and my editor does the right thing. Is there a popular editor that lacks this sort of feature? Edit: it's worth mentioning that this kind of tooling is extremely important, as reducing the issues that drive religious wars is a priceless sort of feature.
- nicoburns 8y agoThe point is if you use tabs, the different text-editora which you may need to use foe various specialised tasks can display it differently.
