Opinions about programming styles

[superbonzo]

Generally, spaces are a better choice [...]

what I dislike of space-filled "tabs" is when the cursor gets "trapped" in the indented area and you want to move to a specified indentation level ... in the editors I've used, is a frustrating experience

[...] because they allow more customization of indent levels.

do you mean different sizes for each indentation level ? what's the benefit ?
