I think everyone understands the theory.  The trouble is putting it
into practice.

Tabs and spaces are invisible.  Indentation is merely a code comment
and not a part of the code.  As a result, the benefits of applying
tabbing rules to this non-functional whitespace is outweighed by the
pain of trying to maintaining this invisible shadow structure,
particularly when sharing code.
