because as soon as you use tabs, some muppet will decide to use spaces instead and screw everything up :D

But only because IDE developers set the default to spaces.

But I do see your point. Although I vastly prefer tabs, I do spend a good bit of time managing my tabs.

Hehe, you should try using Python, now THAT is annoying. If someone decides to use spaces instead of tabs in a tabbed file, you get all sorts of crazy weird errors.

I agree with Killerbot. This discussion can turn into a religious wars. ;)

There were several files mixed with Tabs and Spaces. So I had to clean that up.

There are more files in the repo with Tabs and Spaces. A scan of *.h *.hpp *.c *.cpp *.cxx files in Code::Blocks repo shows the following statistics. :)

--- Quote ---795 files of 1389 contain tabs.

Hi Guys!

I have noticed that AStyle plugin has some options concerning "tabs or spaces". But they are grayed out. If they become living ones C::B can become a "Tabs War Shut Upper" (TWSU).

Regards,
Roman
