Hey, you start your own projct, and you can enforce whatever idiotic rules you want to. But in the meantime, all-tab indentations are equally good, and are the defacto rule. So *you* are the one who should show compelling arguments for changing, and so far you haven't shown any. Really: what is the problem with hardtabs? Absolutely none.
