    When I see code that its indented with spaces I quit my job. No notice, no talk... I walk away and never show up again.

    "Different editors interpret tabs differently"

    That's the whole fucking point of tabs. Personal preference.

    @Nelson Not all heroes wear capes. I salute you and your efforts to our noble cause. 😂😂

    Tab it up anyways

    Yes! It's supposed to be 2 spaces

    Do they expect me to press space twice?

    Two spaces sure, but four spaces is alot easier to read. Take a look at the standard in Python, the easiest language to read in the universe.

    The spaces lobby is strong on W3Scools...

    Use tab or don't indent at all. Let them suffer.

    @SpencerBeige What? No! All editors support soft tabs, you press tab and 2/4/8/n spaces come out!

    @SpencerBeige press tab, get 2 spaces.
    Most text editors can do this

    I see many "tab zealots", who think we actually use the space-bar 4 times for four spaces.
    Don't join a debate, when you are so oblivious. That is all.

    Actually, not all. Stop the zealotry altogether and make constructive arguments instead

    Indentation characters are not something a human should worry about, that's something IDE/editors/formatters ensure are consistent. Unless I show non-visible characters, I don't even know if I'm using tabs or spaces.

    The people that should hang are those who use tables for alignment. I have met some so i knowthey exist, but I really hope they're a dying breed.

    I personally prefer screenshots over photos of the screen..

    @SISheogorath for ASCII art of course, but that has nothing to do with indentation.

    And which editor requires a lot of configuration to use tabs?
    It's usually just a toggle in the code style settings, which you will probably have to change anyways.

    @SpencerBeige No... They expect you to press tab

    @ctmalloy whenever i sre python i think "wtf is this shit?" and close the file and search a solution in another language.
    Hail tabs

    @DLMousey why? Cant mac render tabs? To spaces help with line endings?

    @SISheogorath we are coders, not ASCII artists.

    @SISheogorath “so much configuration” ? I am sorry but what 😐
  • 0
    @DLMousey isn't that due to line endings? If you set your editor to LF it should work fine.

    @SISheogorath that makes sense. I guess, if you're working alone or with a like-minded team, spaces are a bit easier to set up.

    The tab way is the only way. I will convert everything If I have to

    @SISheogorath ye looks the same for everyone, for ppl on the projects that worked with tabs of 2 size for allmost 20 years its a nightmare to have so much space of the sceen wasted with fucking 4 spaces. With tabs you can waste you screenspace as you pleasure and i still can have my 2sized.
    Setting up your 2-3 text editors to use the same size of tabs should not be so complicated.

    I can't see a problem with setting a tab to imitate 4 spaces... That's what I did in my Atom editor and the code looks good...
