Tabs are better than spaces for indentation (programming)

Tabs carry more semantic information than spaces. Case in point: Converting from tabs to spaces is easy but going back the other way is hard (information is lost).

Irrelevant Conclusion

Tabs are better than spaces for indentation (programming)

Some editors don't support backspace correctly when using spaces for indentation. You are still required to press backspace N times when using N spaces per level of indentation.
