So, is it unimportant to distinguish?
You might be probably already used to it, or?
Without teaching what is what, how to tell what is indentation?
Oh I see, you use languages which are not indentation significant

This was shared with me today:
i get approached by not one, but TWO coworkers who unfortunately are highly visually impaired, and each has a different visual impairment
one of them uses tab-width 1 because he uses such a gigantic font-size
the other uses tab-width 8 and a really wide monitor
these guys have serious problems using codebases with spaces, they have to convert, do their work, and then unconvert before committing
these guys are not just being fussy — it’s almost surprising they can code at all, it’s kind of sad to watch but also inspiring
For as long as I can remember, I’ve preferred tabs for indentation (followed by spaces when alignment is desired), and I like being able to control the indentation width (if I remember correctly I’ve gone from four to three to two “spaces” in my tab width preference), but I hadn’t associated the ability to do this with accessibility before.
Also, from the comments, this may be useful:
Regarding Github, you can set a default rendering tabstop with an .editorconfig in a repository, and override with
?ts=<value>in URLs.

@BrightEyesDavid That hit pretty close to where I work. Reading things like that make me wonder why people use spaces for indentation, especially when by definition they aren’t for indentation…
