These are the sort of controversial articles on Hacker News I come here for.
I'm practice, it seems my life is easier to live with others if I use spaces. But the tab is conceptually simple. It means indent, or something almost like "next-column". Spaces mean separation from words or tokens. So you are creating a new token as a compound of existing tokens when the original token already exists.
- danparsonson 3y agoI too am a secret tab-lover, forced into the darkened corners of the internet by the vocal space-worshipping majority. Stay strong; they can take the tabs from your work but they can never take them from your heart! Seriously, they make so much more sense!

- danparsonson 3y agoHaha yes, the old 'space ceiling' - we can but fight for our equality.
