Let's face it: The new generation has no clue how computers work. Not that this would be a big surprise. My grandma also didn't know how computers work. That's not some knowledge you get born with. You need to learn it. But the new generation never learned about "real" computers. They're just consumers of user grade entertainment and communication devices, until they get in contact with "real" computers the first time in university or on the job. (So exactly like for the generation of the now grand parents). > The automatic, per-line indentation type detection, combined with automatic space insertion and automatic navigation over spaces when using cursor keys […] That's absolutely crazy shit just to simulate the behavior of tabs with spaces! If we would just use tabs (like they were invented, namely for indentation) there wouldn't be any issue. The editor vendors should stop all this craziness described above and we would be good. Nobody is printing their source code any more on a line printer! Which was the only reason ever to actually use spaces for indentation. It's incredible how bullshit form the 70' still causes issues today even the actual reason for that bullshit can be found at best with luck in a museum.
