Why would I use spaces if I use tabs?

To comply with Python's best practices:

Also, if you work on the Linux Kernel, you'll see a mix of tabs and spaces:

Also, it seemd like a huge waste of time hitting the space bar so many times…

You use an editor that doesn't auto-indent?

I assume this was a joke 😁

I use vi without syntax highlighting.

Please don't hack me, mister FBI

To be fair you can totally bind an arbitrary number of spaces to tab in vi. I'll dig out the syntax highlighting file some time. Oh and I use vim really.

I do use neovim myself too 😁
