No, there is only one reason: force everybody on the project to use the 
indentation you prefer.

Every editor and command line tool allows for personalized tab adjustments. 
Logic based on how editors worked in v7 unix isn't relevant now. 
Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris/etc have never had any problem supporting flexible 
spacing arrangements. The logic named in those posts is only relevant if you 
are using 30 years old operating systems that can't run Puppet nor Eclipse 
anyway.

[Puppet Users] Change Tab behavior in 3.0+

2012-10-15 Thread Tom Swartz
Hey all,

I have a question regarding the choice to move to spaces (rather than tabs) 
in the editor.

May I ask the reasoning behind this?

Furthermore, is there a way to revert to the 'old style' that used tabs 
instead? I prefer this, as it makes the code look cleaner.

Tabs render to different number of spaces depending on the program or
user preference. There are a truckload of reasons to not use them.
