I don't know what "problems" with tabs you are talking about. I never have
problems with tabs. *Other people* who choose to use software that doesn't
understand tabs have problems.

I've spent a lot of time reading both sides of the tabs versus spaces
argument, and I haven't found anything yet that explains why tabs are, in
and of themselves, bad.
