> I started my career with tabs as it made more sense on the surface, but then over time migrated to spaces which did not have a lot of issues I think this is a common phenomenon, not just for individuals but for entire organizations. Over my career I have entered various large existing software projects. I've only seen two classes: (1) "we use spaces only", and (2) "we used to allow tabs but new code must use spaces only". Whatever the perceived theoretical benefits of tabs may be, in practice they seem to cause headaches for teams.
