Why is this still a thing that people have to care about? Can IDEs still not automatically convert between company-style and personal-style?
(Sad that tabs solved that problem decades ago (by having a byte that means "+1 indent" instead of having to build some ascii-art that looks like an indent) but people screwed up the implementations so badly :( )
- simias 13y agoProper indentation (tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment) is still pretty hard to configure in most editors in my experience. Even in emacs I had to install an external package to get it to behave properly (and it still breaks from time to time). Failing that I'd rather people just used spaces and no tabs. Using tabs for alignment just means it's going to look fucked up everywhere else. At least spaces are consistent.
