Tabs Abstract Indentation
August 14th, 2006 • Asides, General
Deane, from Gadgetopia has something to say about tabs:
I will use tabs with wild abandon (when you think about it, tabs are an abstraction layer for indenting — they just tell the code to what level it should be indented, not how far it should appear to be indented, like spaces do)
I personally prefer tabs a lot more than spaces, I completely agree that spaces are used in most cases just so code looks consistent in all editors, but I digress.
