@acousticmirror And yet, as soon as I mention that I set my editor to display tabs with a width of three spaces, these two "opposing" camps seem to have no problem agreeing that I should be burned at the stake.

@andrewt @acousticmirror From now on I will judge text editors by their ability to support non-integer indentation width |
@vanderZwan @acousticmirror The optimal tab width is 𝑒. It's wide enough to be obvious, but not so wide as to reduce line length too much. Plus, it discourages the use of tabs for alignment by being the number most difficult to approximate with any integer number of spaces.
