None. I rather change myself than wasting time on changing something that won't last forever anyway.

Code indentation should never use tabs, only spaces.

I would die on the opposite hill. No spaces, only tabs.

What's your reasoning for liking spaces?

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Because when I move left in tabs, the cursor isn't clear which tab I'm on. It also tried to sit off the left edge of a terminal in some editors because it aligns with the right side of the character (the tab), instead of the left.

I do see how tabs are a better option : they allow the one editing the file to decide how wide the indentation is. That's actually good User Interface design, by separating the data from the rendering layout.

I can see the argument both ways, but I like to use spaces so the visual and editing interfaces are more standard.

No year zero. Meaning: year 2000 is in the 20th c. and year 2100 is in the 21st c.

M:I-3, 4, 5, and 6 are excellent movies. Each in their own right. I know, Tom Cruise. But, plug and play any action star, and these are still great movies. He just happened to land the role of Ethan Hunt back in '96.
