Which truth would that be? That "45% of respondents said they prefer tabs over spaces for indentation, while 34% preferred spaces" or that "Second, the Stack Overflow team noted that users with higher Stack Overflow reputation scores (who are presumably older and more experienced developers) tended to prefer spaces over tabs. Specifically, respondents with a reputation over 10,000 preferred spaces to tabs by a ratio of 3-to-1."?
It is very much a YMMV issue. I prefer spaces. I do not like editing a file and having line text jump because of tabs. If an editor allows tabbing while generating the file with spaces, fine by me. It works for me. Because tabs work for others, this "fight" will never end. Yawn!
