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

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.
*Real* editors can be configured to support smart tabs.
