Really annoyed by the endless tabs vs spaces discussion.
From now on, I use 4 tabs as indentation.

Cool!! How many spaces = 1 tab ?

@abhi-dev 3.8 XD

@sam9669 didn't see that coming!! 😁

This could all be cleared up if the spaces people just admitted they've been idiots and we could move on to shaming people who prefer Windows over Linux/Mac.

:set TS=4

You people still live in the stone age!! Use page break 😒

I use tabs, but 1 tab == 2spaces 😀

Just indent with semicolons

What if i set the tab to be == one space

soft tabs>hard tabs

@Ratwerks I like your suggestion, but you made a typo, tabs is not spelled spaces

@gitpush damnit, I came here to say this xD

@Ratwerks it's weird, right? How come all standards in PHP, Python, and basically everything else use spaces instead of tabs? And they are even getting paid 10% more according to a Stackoverflow survey.

i dint realize there was difference in the pay check

@Ratwerks i prefer windows over mac anyday but i do prefer linux over windows.

@bondman Linux > Mac >>>> Windows.

Unix CLI & POSIX <3

@RTRMS Found the JS dev.

I personally use 3 spaces for indentation, a 0x0007 (beep sound) at the end of each line as a nice special effect, and a unicode record separator 0x001E between functions.

I'm actually not kidding about the 3 spaces — large Haskell project I contribute to uses that (together with standard alignment indentations), and it's good practice to adjust to the existing code & team... while I wouldn't pick it for a fresh project myself, I actually like it... it's nicer on the eyes than 2 or 4.

@bittersweet and that's why tabs should be the way to go. Going from 4 to 3, from 2 to 3, or whatever else, wouldn't require one to commit a change where all of the file's lines were modified and to fuck up every possible diff made in the future.
