I need to clarify that I do that in code that I am the main editor for. Fortunately, other developers for JSBSim have adopted the same approach. Unfortunately, I've used some tools that quietly insert tabs. They still sneak in. I also tend to use two spaces, because we have some fairly deep indentation at times. > Also let me recommend that untabification be done /separately/ > from any edits that affect the function of the code.

It's sometimes convenient to separate (when possible) edits based on intention, and that goes for more than just cosmetic edits.
