Agreed. And given Blender HAS a default (tabs as spaces) in it's scripts
- it makes more sense to follow that as a default regardless of what
others are doing. Much like one adopts the coding conventions of a
project when they start developing patches & additions to it, as a
developer, I feel conforming to Blender's method of indentation is
reasonable.
