idk aligning your code like that might have some small advantage but it's better to not gently caress around making it pretty and instead do actual work imo that and the diffs thing mean it would be viable with elastic tabs (get the ide to handle it; poo poo like that is literally what ides are for) but is dumb otherwise and as mentioned elastic tabs isn't always a good idea either so welp

who doesn't enjoy scrubbing their code to adjust the number of spaces whenever they change a variable name or have to refactor something.

Rahu posted:I use tabs to indent because tabs are for indenting. well we have this character that represents one level of indentation, and you've been able to change its width on the display pretty much forever naw gently caress it let's insert an arbitrary number of spaces instead is there a correlation between using spaces for indentation and freaking out if your code goes over 80 columns? "if i use tabs and somebody views this with 8-space tabstops, some of these lines will be like, 85 characters long and their VT-100 will wrap!"

code with variable-width fonts so you don't spend a lot of time worrying about aligning every little loving thing just get the indentation right and leave it at that

you can't have hard tabs because people are too stupid to use tabs solely for indentation and will start checking in source where they used tabs for alignment then everyone blames hard tabs and not the stupid people

of course hard tabs are correct. which do you think is right, hitting "tab" and getting a tab... or hitting "tab" and getting a bunch of things that aren't tabs also, tabs are 8 characters wide. this is a natural constant, like the speed of light, even though a whole bunch of people in this day and age like to set their editor to show tabs incorrectly

didnt read op or thread, but soft tabs are what non-spergs use if you dont want to deal with the bullshit of micromanaging hard tabs for indent and spaces for alignment. soft tab supremacy

soft tabs are a sign of mental disorder since they are so clearly inferior in every way. someone who uses soft tabs over hard tabs is guaranteed to be a bad programmer because they don't understand why hard tabs are superior.
