Tabs are objectively better than spaces - gomakethings.com - programming.dev

This is a holy war that I will gladly fight again and again! I can’t believe that soft tabs are more popular, especially in python!
Python noob here. I thought you were only supposed to use spaces with python and tabs would give you indentation errors?
Tabs work fine, you aren’t allowed to mix, indentation must be consistent.

Actually I think you can technically mix. They have a “conversion factor”. But don’t, because then the code will look like crap on any other tab size (defeating the point of using tabs in the first place)

I think it would be better that each line needs to start with the exact same bytes to be considered within the same indent level. But I don’t think that is the decision Guido made.

That is because they are superior.
