Oh ok, that explains it. I guess I never thought tabs were formatted so
differently across IDEs/editors... shouldn't most editors allow changing
how tabs behave (just like as you mentioned for soft tabs)?
Anyway, my point was, Sammi offered a great contribution and was replied
to with "...and did you just change the indentation for the fun of it"?
I change the indentation in my stuff to tabs (which in all my experience
have worked across editors), and I also change the bracket styles from
function() {
}
To...
function()
{
}
...Those are such matters of preference I think there is no point
bringing that up in reply to someone's functional contributions. That
was my real point, just sticking up for Sammi in those matters of
preference.
It just makes someone feel like not wanting to contribute further when
they are picked at for such meaningless stuff. And big deal about his
licensing line... we all know this stuff is all free for anyone who
wants it. No one here (or very very FEW if any) of us are lawyers...
give the guy a break and reply constructively to the functionality, not
nit-picking...
Sorry.

Tabs are evil, because they're formatted in different ways on
different editors.
Your text editor should allow for switching to soft spaces when you
hit tab.
The official scriptaculous/prototype/rails style is 2 spaces instead
of a tab.
You do use an editor that allows for this, do you...? :)
