Tabs vs Spaces

Old thread, but someone above linked to this link: EmacsWiki: Tabs Are Evil

However at this section: EmacsWiki: Tabs Are Evil

There is a better way: use tabs for expressing the indentation level and spaces for alignment.

int f(int x,
......int y) {
--->return g(x,
--->.........y);
}

This is precisely what I do almost everywhere (except elixir because friggin spaces are prevalent in elixir, so I follow the pattern, ugh). I’ve been a big pusher for this style for over 2 decades now. You have custom indention levels, proper alignment, everything.
