Probably none. I expect everyone just chooses one or the other. Edit: Oh, wait, maybe I did... When I wrote DCL, I used a TAB for the first indent and then SPACEs after that. Does that count?

I use the TAB key to insert SPACES.

We all do. We all use one or the other, perhaps even both. :laugh: But to answer your question, I use spaces. I generally set up the IDE to sub 4 spaces for a tab.

I will answer the question you intended to ask. I use tabs. Set to 2 spaces as that is the indentation size I always use. I use the tabs because a lot of my coworkers use 4 spaces and they came just adjust the tab size to give the code the look they are used to.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Infidel! All right-minded people know that a tab stop is every 8 spaces! Anything else is heresy! Your immortal soul will be condemned to an eternity in an infinite loop unless you repent!

Splitter! The Real Distance is obviously 3 spaces per tab.

Nah I like a tight real estate, 2 spaces per tab works best.

Tabs because it is just one keypress.

No, TAB stops are by distance, not character count. A half inch is sufficient.

I would've never thought there could be a good argument for tabs, but this sounds like a good way to satisfy everyone. My only question would be what the code looks like outside the IDE, in GitHub or even Notepad, for example.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.That's exaclty what drove me to ask. GitHub. PR's sometimes don't format correctly.

I use whatever the project already uses. Some projects use tabs, some use spaces. When I start new projects, I use whatever the specific team[1] already uses - some teams have tabs set up as default in their IDE, some have spaces. In the rare occasion that I start a solo project with no team I tend to go with spaces. [1] I work across multiple teams.

I use the tab key, but my IDE converts them to spaces.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth. To err is human, to arr is pirate.
