At work, since we have a fairly small core of developers, we
standardized on tabs - mainly because of a couple of devs who
disagreed on how much indentation looked right (I'm of the opinion
that 1 space is insufficient), and having tab characters in the file
allows us to configure our editors differently. I'm definitely in
favour of using tabs where possible, but if you can't close your
environment, spaces are far safer.
