I&#x27;ll join that fight, unless you want you your tabs showing up as two spaces instead of four. Then we&#x27;ll have to fight after we take down the spacers.<p>On a slightly more serious note, the benefit of tabs is so clear: everyone can have whatever spacing they want and it doesn&#x27;t affect anyone else. You just configure your IDE and it looks the way you want it to look. For whatever reason, indenting two spaces makes it hard for me to read code.
