It's funny and tragic at the same time to hear all the non-sense about
any topic software production...  Tabs are in fact the way to go for
indentation, they have the abstract meaning of one tab per level of
indentation, and how to present that is just the job of an editor: some
editors are broken, the rest is the usual band-wagon, i.e. speculations,
sabotaging, and of course the widespread incompetence that goes with it.
