Spaces because they render consistently everywhere - no configuration needed.

Spaces because alignment matters and tabs mess it up.

Tabs for life! One keystroke vs multiple spaces? No contest.

I configure my editor to insert spaces when I press tab. Best of both worlds? ##10003 That reminds me of this!

I use tabs but my IDE converts them to 4 spaces behind my back. Don't tell anyone.

I use spaces but respect tab users. Unlike SOME people here.

Tabs because accessibility - screen readers handle them better.
