If you want to convert tabs to 4/5/6... spaces then any editor (or grep) can do that for you.
Why add white-space bloat to the source code?

I had this discussion with somebody at a client a few years ago. I ended it by saying "Fine, you do it that way; I'll do it the right way."Comment

Anyone who voted tabs deserves their next job to be remotely hotfixing code via ssh and vi. Anyone who's done such a thing will know how evil tabs are and that those who use them should burn in hell.
Same thing applies to those who put curly braces on the same line and not on a new line, and for the same reason. Screw Sun and their coding standards, Gosling obviously never loaded a file into vi with lines wrapping all over the place and tried to work out what code was part of what loop.Comment
