@fell Results came out a bit surprising to me. I've always thought that everyone hates tabs and wants to transform them to amount of spaces of their liking. For Python four spaces even made it into PEP-8 style guide.
But I hate spaces. I think we should get rid of space… And time 🤪
@m0xee I'm also 100% for spaces because I hate when things get misaligned. I have a few workmates who like to align variables in a table-like fashion and if you use tabs for that it quickly becomes a mess.
@fell Well, I was just kidding. No, I do prefer tabs, but I can adapt to any style that the project or config file uses. This nginx config uses spaces, should I reformat it, of course not, spaces it is. And I do have autopep8 for Python files in Vim. Guido decided that it's best, I'd do it differently, but fine.
@fell Nowadays it's a matter of personal preferences and formatting tools got so good that I rarely see them misaligning things on reformatting, it's a matter of having conventions when you are working on a project collaboratively though so your formatter/linter running amok won't litter the repository with these things on every commit and ruin it for everyone else.
