I don't really disagree. I only really use it for patches/diffs, myself. I think the real issue is just the the wild inconsistency of both how to adjust tab-size settings and whether it is even possible across a wide universe of text rendering situations. Avoidance lets you bypass that complexity from the "abstractness" of how much space a TAB represents, but of course, you do lose the abstractness, too.
