Using tabs instead of spaces

[Heinrich-XIAO]

I think we should use tabs instead of spaces as tabs can look different based on preferences. In this case, consistency is not ideal as different programmers want different tab sizes. I use 2 spaces per tab while the code in the repo all use 4 spaces per "tab".

Github also renders tabs like this, so consistency between tabs and spaces is important.

Github allows you to change tab size, but this only works when they are real \t characters

Valid arguments.

When you say tabs can look different depending on your preferences, are you only referring to the length of tabs, or are there additional customizations for tabs?

I do think the way github renders tabs is a good reason to switch, but you aren't actually having to hit your space bar 4 times every line are you? My tab auto-inserts 4 spaces.

probably only the length on most editors, but in vim-like editors, I'm pretty sure I can change colour as well.

Here in neovim, I do have to slam space unless I configure tab to do that for me, but I can't because all of my other projects use \t.
