Code Indents: Tab or Spaces?

I think largely indents are a matter of opinion. Some people (myself included) use tabs. Others use 4 spaces, others use 2 or 3 or another number of spaces.

I might investigate and see what the “popular” method of indentation is…

    The “popular” method is spaces as *nix editors render tabs differently to windows.

    If you’re working just in a windows environment then tabs are probably preferable.

    The best thing is a windows editor that deals with groups of 4 spaces as a tab, but actually saves them out as spaces
