Well allow me to strongly oppose your opposition, then! Everything and anything
meant for generating or editing code -- be it PHP, JS or CSS -- most definitely
should use tabs.

Tabs are the official MediaWiki way of doing indentation (see the coding
conventions manual on MediaWiki.org:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions) and it definitely
makes sense; tabs, from my perspective as a developer, make my life a lot
easier as I have to hit an arrow key (for example) only once whereas with
space-indented code, I'd have to hit the same key four times. Bleh!

It's unfortunate that some platforms have bad defaults, but I think we all can
live with that. We most certainly have been able to live with it until now, and
as far as I'm aware, nothing has essentially changed.
