One more voice in favor of tabs as spaces. TextMate, the editor that I use, and Emacs, can handle that situation very well. But what's more important, tabs have been proven in several occasions to lead to inconsistent presentation of the code. They are a "relative" entity, while a given amount of spaces will always appear as originally intended. When code uses a mix of tabs and spaces, and that happens often when inserting hard tabs, the resulting indentation goes often haywire. When I hit Tab I expect the editor to indent and align my code in a consistent manner, based on the language used. In Emacs pressing tab in the middle of the line, not just at the beginning, performs that operation. So, there is clearly a separation between what the key does and its ASCII representation.
