Each developer has their own preferences - I never argued that. I prefer to read code with 3-4 space indentation, and when debugging heavily nested code, I would even prefer 6-8 space indentation to help see blocks of text more clearly. If you don't like ET, simply don't use it. In every editor I've seen that supports ET, in was optional and disabled by default. ps: Take a look at this linked PDF and look at the second image. That was purposely done to mimic your coding style - 1 space indentation. All done by tweaking the ET preferences, and not actually changing the underlying file at all. :) http://geldenhuys.co.uk/~graemeg/temp/elastic_tabstops_demo_landscape.pdf ET allows each developer to apply their own preferences without the underlying files being modified. Perfect in an environment where many developers work on the same source code units.
