Is a tab four spaces or two?

    A tab is not made of spaces, it goes to the next tab stop, which is as big as you set it to be.

    Let's all compromise on three spaces

    Behold: HUML, a markup language so opinionated that it forces its users to use an indentation of exactly 2 spaces https://huml.io/specifications/v0-1-0/#indentation

    Honestly I like the rest of the specification and being opinionated definitely has its advantages, but I hate using 2 spaces for indentation. Maybe the people who were using tabs for indentation were actually on to something ...

    IDEs are for script kiddies, real programmers use vim.

    Vim is ok, useful when you don't have an ide handy, but making a complex multiplatform distributed system across multiple teams and repos in such a limited application is just bonkers. Downright lunacy.
