This is truly the tabs-versus-spaces pointless debate of drinking culture.

The Martini is the tabs-versus-spaces debate of drinking culture.

(But there is only one right way for that as well)

I thought the Martini was the toilet-paper-roll-orientation debate of drinking culture.
People still use tabs? I thought tabs became obsolete the moment IDEs and text editors supported space-for-tabs with automatic column alignment.
Tabs are semantic. Using spaces for indentation is like using tables for layout.
