Reason we don't use tabs children. I just saw (and am going to have to reformat):
switch (var)
{
case 1:
DoAThing ();
DoAnotherThing();
break;
case 2:
DoADifferentThing ();
DoAnotherDifferentThing();
break;
}

It looks mostly okay in LabCVI, meh in VS 2010, and absolutely shitty in Understand (where the above example came from).

    So, shitty IDEs? That's the reason?

    @sterex because they aren't standard across editors.

    I understand if an IDE cannot figure out if 1 tab = 4 spaces or 8 spaces, but I find it odd that the IDE aligns different lines with different spacing.

    Either -
    1. Code is shitty.
    2. IDE is shitty.
    3. Font is shitty.

    @sterex it's the code. some people take over the baseline and use spaces. or uses an IDE with convert tabs to spaces. then someone else comes in and uses tabs. The result being now I have to spend a zillion hours reformatting the code. Because now "I own it".
