Actually, I was thinking it might strike a chord with Jim Leonard.  But, it
seems you're aware of his older editors page, and already tried to "discuss"
other editors with him...  :-)

Well, I for one *HATE* tabs in code.  I always end up converting them to
spaces or a space, and reformatting or re-indenting.  The only use I've ever
found for them is to align columns of data.  But even then, I find usually
need to remove them for some reason, or other...  They're just a major
nuisance.
