If you build applications that other people write, sure.  If you
program and build your own applications, having tabs in the
source is both a disk space saver (the source is always
decompressed) and a time saver when building.

Edit, build, test.  Repeat 1000 times.

Try compiling from old MFM disks (or god forbid floppies)
sometime and you can really see the difference.
