You are definitely right about this. I was thinking more of who it was enforced upon and how things got messed up with respect to the difference between tabs and spaces. I remember opening things in a terminal and it was relatively clean, maybe a few wrapped lines, and then editing in notepad, and then it looked like trash when opened in the terminal because newlines were all put in some arbitrary width. My perspective mostly comes from MSDN shops I interned with in the 90s, so the terminal (DOS) was mostly a printf debugger, scripting environment, gaming console, and BBS gateway. I installed zipslack once, and had no idea what to do with it. Forgive me for being a L4m3r (still actually).
