You make a valid point, but I still like spaces.. here's why. There are other people who view the code on my MUD. I'm not going to tell them where their tabstops should be to get something readable... if I'm using a 4-column tab and making the lines wrap at 80, when they get on a default terminal (80 columns and 8-column tabs), it'll wrap to all hell. Sure, everyone uses terminals capable of more than 80 columns now, right? Well, it's still the standard. It's really the minimum that any terminal should implement. And just like I still check web pages with older versions of browsers to make sure they're readable, I'd like my code accessible to the lowest common denominator.
