Yeah, this is odd. I can't believe it's such a religious issue but there 
seems to be a lot of contention between tabs and spaces. I always use 
spaces. Because I want the code to render the same on any display I use. 
I have my vi and emacs both configured to use 4 spaces except in 
Makefiles or some similar place which explicitly wants tabs. It seems 
the only thing anyone really agrees on is that it is evil to mix tabs 
and spaces.
