> Well, I for one *HATE* tabs in code.

Smaller code size, automatic formatting.  I'll have your tabs.  I love em.
I'm having tab tab tab tab tab tab ... (flash back to Monty Python's Spam 
sketch)

>P.S. Looking through CWS' ED sources today, I noticed lines with a LOT
>of tabs. I'm talking about eight, nine, 10 tabs at the beginning of a

Automatic indentation of program structures + complex code.  With tab stops
@ 3 char increments, that's only 30 characters indent...

But with the right editor, you can convert from tabs to spaces with a 
keystroke,
so who cares?
