Code semantic should be separate from code presentation.
In other words, tabs vs spaces is a stupid argument.

We've learned that separating semantics and presentation is good for the code we write but we've never bothered to apply it to languages. Everyone on the team should be able to apply their own formatting preferences without affecting the underlying file.
