Yeah, that's one of the patterns over which I get my regular spats with
Emanuel. 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.

Cheers
