Luckily he's a pretty civilized arguer (hopefully he sees me likewise): I practically never use tabs (perhaps none or close to that in the last 15 years). But I'd *never* *ever* dare that sentence "tabs should not be used". Who am I to forbid you the use of tabs? If I had a colleague who insisted on tabs, I'd try to listen to her reasons for tabs, I'd try to offer my reasons against them (always talking about tabs in source code), and if no conviction happens, I'd try to cope with the outcome however best. I think last time around I tried to make my point to Emanuel with the sentence "generalizations suck" or some such.
