This is always the argument against tabs, but it makes no sense. So what?
If you don’t like your tab width, CHANGE IT. That’s a huge win over spaces, where indentation is hard-coded.
- jml7c5 6y agoI somehow forgot to add the essential part of my comment. Sorry, here it is: If someone prefers a narrow tab width and breaks lines based on that, then someone who prefers a wide tab width will get overfull lines: 20 column limit, 2-column tabs: if (a==b) { | if (b==c) { | some_function();| 20 column limit, 4-column tabs: if (a==b) { | if (b==c) { | some_functio| <- overfull line Either way, the project has to set some sort of official tab width. Or at least, a maximum tab width.
