> Edit: if you disagree then tell me why I have a religiously strong opinion on spaces vs tabs
Because you did not think this through logically I assume.
There is only one answer: indent using tabs, align using spaces.
This way the text never looks "broken" on any other machine, and personal preference for how deep indentations should be can be applied.
I think people mostly form strong religious opinions because they want to belong to a group or feel a sense of purpose. Do you feel that when defending your stance on tabs vs spaces?
But I fail to see how this is related to programmers being creatives
