Comment on The lengths we have to go to

If you indent with only tabs you can’t align things except on tab boundaries. If you have a function that takes 10 parameters and want to do it on multiple lines, the alignment of the extra parameters is going to be ugly.
If you indent with only spaces, you can indent things so that all the parameters line up directly underneath the parenthesis, for example.

I agree we shouldn’t mix tabs with spaces. But use tabs always. I could line up parameters together but may not be just under parentheris, and it looks good and readable for me

I think it looks like ass, so only spaces for me.
