    Tabs definitely have their place. That place is not in source code which should only ever be rendered in fixed space fonts.

    Spaces are portable, tabs not so much, and source code gets opened in a wide variety of editors - no two of which seem to have a consistent interpretation of tabs.

    In the world of proportional fonts and tabular text which does not hop from one editor to the next: that is the proper place to keep tabs.
