I think the exact amount of spaces that should make up a tab is an even more controversial point.
I'd love to see what happens to the tabs vs spaces debate once someone makes tabs that aren't an integer multiple of spaces wide.
- taeric 8y agoTabstops are really old concept and were never really a set number of spaces wide. Used to, you had physical stops on the typewriter that a tab would advance to. So, that world was and is a long time ago. We just don't typically give a way for people to set tabstops in most environments, therefore it was chosen that tabs would advance a certain number of spaces.
