4 spaces are before this
4 tabs are before this
Pretty easy to follow code that does
{
{
{
{
}
}
}
}
Versus the alternative, especially with the character wrapping in vi
and other text editors.
At least, that's IMO
YMMV
Except that if I inherit your code and I find it easier if it's
indented to 8 spaces you've taken that choice away from me. Tabs are
configurable on nearly all editors that exist in the world. If yours
doesn't let you change the tab width, get a new one. But if you don't
care about people who might end up working on your stuff, keep using
spaces. Just hope you never change your mind.
It's almost a standard across the industry to use spaces. But hey, if
you wanna take away my choice to use spaces whenever I work on your code
down the very long line, that's fine. I'm just gonna use my JOE editor
to fix them and purify any mixed tab/space indentation. If your editor
can't do that then you should get a better editor ;)
Cheers,

I use tab's in all my code, and replace them with spaces when
posting/mailing for legibility.
couldn't imagine ever hitting space 4/8/12/16+ times to write a line of
code when i can just tab/shit+tab to indent.
