Whow! That looks pretty oldschool! O_o But is it actually?
This indentation thing.. We agreed on tabs here. So everyone can have his own settings how wide the indentation should be. Actualy I think as this is a style-thing this should not be part of the code anyway. Code should always be shown and styled the way you want it at the frontend! But: most functional behind that on the backend side.
So for instance tabbed indentation could easily be shown as spaces in your editor as well. And when you press Ctrl+S it becomes tabs again in the file. That'd be cool.... *dream*...
It's strange some sometimes even senior respectable developers prefer tabs. I just don't see the benefit considering all the potential problems with it.
