Nah, I'll keep on sticking with spaces or whatever the language's formatter uses. Ain't no way am I mixing tabs and spaces, will just stick with spaces.

I used to be a tabs guy, somepoint over time, especially when I realized some of the edge cases I have in formatting only remain consistent when using spaces, I switched.

why don't we store code unformatted and have everybody's IDE display it with their preferred format applied? it would make everything easier and stop people bickering over pointless things.
