Wrong Direction

Tabs are better than spaces for indentation (programming)

The ASCII standard is a compromise of typewriters and mainframes characters like \r, \n and \t. "Tab" stands for "tabulation" as in "table". They are used to produce table-like visual structures. Semantically, using tabs for indentation is wrong. It could be used for multi-column code though.

Fallacy Of Red Herring

Tabs are better than spaces for indentation (programming)

Making ASCII-art with source code is painful to manage as further modification can lead to changing lines unrelated to the actual patch. This takes developer time and disrupts the blame history.
