    Spaces and nice reading code are also ruined by fonts in coding tools. At least with tabs the editor can usually be manipulated.

    Don't write code with variable width fonts. Even with tabs, formatting will mess up if you don't use the same font as the author.

      Huh, on my decks of punch cards the font didn't matter. They were all fixed width.
