why do you use tabs? spaces are always one character long. but tabs are unpredictable. someone may have theirs set to 2 characters or 8. so it is impossible to ensure that your lines will fit within 80/100 columns if you use tabs |

spaces don't provide enough space, tabs provide like a mile of space so it separates the code a lot easier and imo they make code more readable |
