User tomasino wrote a good piece on the use of spaces vs.
tabs[1]. I was just dealing with this question the other
day, as I re-configured my programming editor after
reinstall (and tried a few new editors for kicks.) Since I
don't work much with others on programming projects, this
has always been purely a personal preference for me, but
it's been one that I've oscillated on. I guess I never
thought about it being a subject of debate, but that makes
sense, as most things are a subject of debate when it comes
to programming!

My thoughts are in-line with tomasino on this: go with what
works for the team or project. I currently tend to use tabs.
The only issue I have is that I need to configure various
editors to treat them the same way when possible. But I have
that choice, whereas with spaces I would not, and that is
nice (as tomasino points out.)

One question I have is: are tabs and spaces equally portable
when it comes to a text file? If you're talking about retro
systems, new systems, and localized systems, do both have
about the same amount of portability?
