I use tabs because I prefer 4-space indents and others might prefer 2-space indentation or the gross and unacceptable 6-space indentation.

If more than one person is working on a code base, there will likely be more than one preference, and with tabs everyone gets to just set their own tab width.

Yes, even the 3-space savages.

It's OK, I replace all the tabs with spaces for uniformity. Tabs are stupid and they mess things up when I paste stuff. I like to watch the world burn.

Imagine not having an IDE that automatically fixes the spacing of pasted text.
