Spaces… tabs… don't hit me #2

Closed tmos closed 10 years ago

tmos commented 10 years ago

Just a question : why do you use spaces instead of tabs ? Tabs are made for this, it is lighter (1o vs 4), and don't have any visual consequences (If I rather have 2 spaces, I can config this in my editor). This is not troll, but I just want to know :d So, I take the chance that we are 3 in the repo to talk about this now :D

No troll, this is a real question.

I use spaces instead of tabs for three main reasons:

  1. The gain in files weight is negligible nowadays.
  2. Habits, in Python, it's 4 spaces for one level of indentation (http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#tabs-or-spaces).
  3. Habits again, because it happens that I have to edit a file on a system which is not mine or on which I don't have full control / don't want to waste time to configure fully for just a 2 minutes editing. I know how the file looked like when I edited it, and I can move easily through it thanks to the indentation and what I remember about the file. If I use spaces, they will just look the same way everywhere, and it will be easier. If I use tabs, I will have to set the right preferences prior to editing, or deal with the current setting.

Anyways, I started using spaces, but I'm not space-nazi and I can deal with tabs also.

It's not too late to switch, let's just choose something and keep it (and I think @eliemichel will prefer tabs as well).

Good argumentation, it's rare on this topic :D I understand the habits, for the config I don't switch very much so I can't really tell you… Whatever the choice is, we seems okay that mixing both is the worst…

I'm more a tabs-lover, so if there is a vote, you know my choice :)

Ok, @eliemichel, what do you prefer ?

Anyway, it's easy to switch for now. So let's decide soon :)

eliemichel commented 10 years ago

Of course I'm in favor of tabs! For the exact same reasons as tmos'

Phyks commented 10 years ago

So let's go for tab :)

Ok, if I did not miss anything, everything should be tabbed correctly now.
