I see many people continuing holy wars between tabs and spaces, even to a point to dismiss specific technology because of it.

If you simply enable option in your editor to make white spaces visible (i . e. you can tell the difference between tab and space), the problem becomes silly.

I personally like to use tabs for indentation, because of huge flexibility being able to change tab size (which changes indentation) as needed, but that just me.

It doesn't really matter which it is, as long as it's one of them. Spaces are more copy-paste friendly though.
