    That’s why you get the best of both worlds, and combine them to use tabspaces. Everyone will hate you equally, achieving true equality in the process.

      Tab characters are space efficient and configurable for each person in their editor. Space characters are consistent between developers.

      Solution: each tabspace indent is a random width, making it both inconsistent and non-configurable. Also, each character is the size of at least four regular characters, so it’s not even space efficient

      Honestly the best solution is tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment.
