I'm surprised that all the replies to this thread are in favor of tabs over spaces. In my experience, the vast majority of developers favor spaces. For me there is one main reason I prefer spaces ... printers. Sometimes I print code. Printers seem to always use eight spaces for tabs which causes many lines to wrap and makes it harder to read the code. If there were a universal way to adjust that then I'd be okay with using tabs for indentation.
This is the same reason why I don't like when lines are longer than 80 characters. Many of the lines will wrap when printed. Also, I find it harder to read code with long lines. That's why newspaper columns don't extend all the way across wide newspaper pages. -- R.
