So, this is my first actual rant since I joined devRant and I am not saying I am perfect either. Here goes nothing...
1. I honestly hate it when people use spacebar instead of tabs
2. People who have a bad indentation or no indentation at all (even though almost all IDEs have auto-indentation). The bad thing is when a person asks me to have a look at their code I always end up wasting time fixing the indentation rather the actual problem.
I love a properly indented code and that's one of the major reason I usually recommend Python to most people.
3. Lastly, people who leave lots of unnecessary empty lines. E.g.,

public class HelloWorld{

public static void main(String[]args){

System.out.println("Hello world!");

}

}

    To be honest I leave empty lines in start but while closing curly braces I don't put empty line between them.

    To other points I can't agree more.
    With languages like Java and c people fall out of indentation.

    If I'll ever do that I'll probably have nightmares.

    @Shivi I feel you man. I guess we all have our different styles of programming.

    You can pretty print the file, does automatic indentation.

    This definitely bothers me too. Got annoyed at my lecturerer for giving extra marks for spaces instead of tabs.

    I have just stopped saying that to people. My friends were shit at indentation. My solution is going to some online pretty print site. Try it sometime.

    Any recommendations?

    @coolq I usually just google it. It's just easier that way cause its usually on their computer. I use Sublime text, so if I want to do it, I just download the relevant plugin
