For G'MIC developers (Inactive ones too). Tabs or spaces.

I know this has been talked about before, and the discussion of whether to use tabs or spaces. Been thinking of switching my code into tabs only for start of new lines.

Here’s my arguments for using tabs:

  1. You can dynamically set tab size.
  2. There should be no reason why you aren’t using a editor that allows 1.
  3. People prefer different indentation size. Dynamically set tabs works.
  4. You can comment on different tabs level instead of different lines. So alignments can still work.
  5. Reading sylvie code with Notepad and KDE Kate, I find that even though there’s differen tabs size, her code is very readable in Notepad.
  6. Sometimes, I take advantage of changing tab size to see flow.
  7. The ghost characters in KDE Kate makes it easy to mentally create a line.
