It is SO STUPID that spaces are widely preferred for indentation in code.

For the past, I don't know, two hours I've been trying to fix YAML formatting issues that could have been fixed without any human intervention if only tabs were used. (It's a big file, hence the duration.) (I know YAML doesn't support tabs. That's kind of my point.)

I even reluctantly asked Gemini (forced upon me by work; I was hoping it would change my mind in this case) why anyone would prefer spaces. It said the same irrelevant thing most people say: because some tools don't support tabs properly.

Know what that sounds like to me? A problem with the fucking tool.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I can't think of a better option.

I knew someone was going to reference this. It's surprising that it took so long.
