But historically, tabs were are also rendered on screen as 8 spaces. This is no longer true, since tabs are often 4 spaces by default. And for this very reason, today it is better to use spaces because that is the _only_ way to format code so it looks the same in less, Emacs, joe, vi, MSVC, Zend Studio or whatever. What way, people who read the code need not touch their editor's settings, only those who write code do.
