Tabs vs Spaces.

Not because one of them is definitely better than the other, but because it's 2020, we have editorconfig and everybody should just use what he personally prefers.

The whole point of editorconfig is to prevent everyone from using what they prefer and standardize

I like how intelliJ converts [TAB] keypress to whatever it's set up to

Do what your team defined as standard, not whatever you prefer. This is how you end up with an endless stream of auto-formatted commits, where everyone needs to swim through a river of bullshit in order to recognize whether a changed line is actually a change or just auto-formatted tab-space-nonsense.

Everybody can use what they want and VS Code detects what was used in the file and automatically adjusts to it.

Until it sees a file with both spaces and tabs, and.. Here we go again..

Agreed. Every decent editor of the last few decades or so automatically treats tabs and spaces the same and stays consistent with existing files. I don't even know what my vim setup uses and I don't care because it works the same either way.

@s0LA Yea Thats why you can configure editorconfig to automatically convert tabs into spaces

@netikras That's what I meant. The JetBrains IDEs have editorconfig running in the background.
