Am I mistaken? If no, am I missing some major spaces advantages? If no, lets use tabs. Perhaps, there is no tool that will convert (convert right, not somehow, see article) tabs<->spaces in D code.

There wouldn't be any problem if people were able to use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment, i.e. in cases like
if (cond1 &&
    cond2)

But people are dumb and many project leaders "take no risks" and require spaces everywhere instead of doing it properly.

If it cheers you up, I use that style. Once you get used to 'smart tabs' it is like using spaces. Just now and then I catch myself using tabs on the alignment for local variable comments:

        int foo;                // does something (tabs)
        int bar;        // something else (spaces)

Then again "tabs for indentation only" is a simple rule, that would have turned the tabs into spaces in this example - if editors supported it.
