if tab is assumed 4 spaces, sometimes, you might type 4 spaces to gain alignment. From the editor, you won't tell the difference. however, if you swtich to a different editor such as vim, tab is assumed 8 spaces. then, alignment will become a problem if both tab/space is used. Of course, we can always stick to either tab or space only. but there will always an exception. BTW, I miss emacs editor feature to split one same file into two different windows that you can view the file in one window and modify the same file in another window. can it be done in scite?
