    Yeah, tabs are larger spaces, what’s your point?

    /s

    You may be right, but I still have an unreasonable hate for tabs in code

      Tabs for indenting and spaces for aligning. There. Everybody wins and loses.

      This way the code always looks aligned and if you prefer 4 spaces for a tab instead of 2 or 3 or 8 you can just set it in your IDE.

      Crisis averted!

      Both tabs and spaces are stupid.

      It’s ridiculous that in 2024, code formatting is still embedded in the source instead of being a style you apply.
