And by using tabs the IDE can customise whether it's displayed as two character or four character deep indentation. It just makes so much more sense.

It's insane that anyone considered spaces to be a sensible default. Yet I primarily develop in C# where four spaces are the standard so that's what I use. However the reality is the IDE handles all the formatting automatically so I'm never actually typing four spaces
