I used tabs for a bit, then I saw my code looked awful on GitHub because they used a tabwidth of 8. At the time there was no way to change that. I was the only person working on the project, so I switched to spaces. You're still stuck with a tabwidth of 8 on GitLab. And everywhere else it seems to be based on the project's .editorconfig, so you're stuck with whatever the project authors decided anyways. Tabs are configurable, but configuration is required. You must configure every project for every editor to get reasonable display, which is annoying when possible and even more annoying when impossible.
