Actually, I like tab. It gives people more choice on how their code looks like based on their editor's preference.

But no, I cannot —even sneakily, manually— enforce tab in my company(es) code bases. Reasonable person uses formatter which opinionated config set from the first commit.

And I like the formatter decision better. If it is automated and reduce unnecessary debate between devs, why not?

What would be better would be formatting as a display setting in whatever IDE you're using.

There debate settled permanently.

That's a great idea...
