I like spaces.

But I want my tab key to add the correct amount of spaces for the indent.

Fortunately it seems that most editors I use to edit code have a setting to do just that.� The ones that don't are a pain in the rear since I'm not consistent in the use of tabs vs spaces since I expect my editor to do the right thing and treat the tab key as a 'insert a few spaces for me' key.

As far as single or double spaces... well, I'm a double spacing person when I type, even though I know that a single space is considered 'better' anymore due to modern typefaces inserting the correct amount of space with only a single space.� �HTML also ignores double spaces by default, so most of the web runs on single spaces.

        You can tell someone's age by one or two spaces. For me that
        is what I was taught and bugs the hell out of me when I see
        single space.

            I remember there being a rather exuberant discussion a
            couple years ago about the advantages/disadvantages and
            goodness/badness of putting a single space after a
            sentence versus putting two spaces. The debate rages on,
            but this one study suggests that putting two spaces makes
            sentences easier to read.
