Tabs are objectively the better choice as it allows each dev individually to decide tab width in their editors. Spaces in contrast don't allow this same flexibility as they are used for much more than simply indentation, for example you likely put a space after each argument or operator IE
func(arg1, arg2)or1 + 2.Too much waste of space imo,
func(arg1,arg2)or1+2is faster to write and to read.Stilltoomuchwasteofspace
