The problem is lines with mixed tabs and spaces, and different users
set their text editors see tabs differently. ie: is your tab-width set
to 2, 3, 4, or 8?
Isn't that the whole point: using spaces causes conflict over
indentation, using tabs, 1 per indent level, allows individuals to
choose their indent level.
No, it isn't. Spaces aren't comfortable to use in existed editors. In
spite of the fact that they provide a lot of support for N spaces to
behave like a tab. And it unnecessary complicates editors (they can
implement something more useful instead, like elastic tabstops from
Trass3r's post).
