I don't care either. I always use tabs, and my code is always
readable. Some people suggest one indents with four spaces, and
replaces eight spaces of indenting with a tab. Now _that_ is
irritating, since my editor's tab size is set to 4.

> Tabs are easier to type (one keystroke each)

That depends on your editor. Mine (vim) can be instructed to insert
the appropriate amount of spaces on a tab, and remove them on a
backspace.
