I'm curious as to why it's an advantage to insert spaces instead of tabs. With tabs I can change the number of spaces very easily, so if you've inserted a tab and I like 8 space tabs (I do) but you like 2-space tabs, then that's no problem.
But when you insert spaces, that's it. Emacs' default behavior is to insert spaces, something I've been looking for how to change. I know this is a matter of style, and style is a non-issue, but I'm curious as to what advantages you see for spaces versus tabs.
