No one uses spaces unironically. Stop forcing memes.

I use spaces...

Python standard: spaces > tabs

Fixed

Tabs is the most universally accepted standard, you can just adjust your spacing by configuring your editor, while with spaces you are stuck with whatever the guy before you set.

>Use the default Code Editor settings (smart indenting, four-character indents, tabs saved as spaces)

>>59807109
Tabs are theoretically better than spaces for indenting. Since everyone can set up how much spaces a tab should be in their editor themselves. But a lot of idiots use tabs for aligning code, too. Mixing it with spaces. And then it looks like shit on every other setting. I see that all the time.

So I do prefer spaces.

>Good layout uses formatting to emphasize the structure of your code and to make the code easier to read. Microsoft examples and samples conform to the following conventions:

It just states that the examples on their website do this, not that you should do this.

Any real arguments?

>>59807109
I would like to argue that it literally does not matter as tools exist to automatically format any language that matters
