It makes me sad we didn't collectively agree on using tabs for all indentation so people can set their preferred indentation size in their editors.
That said, consistency trumps philosophy.
If only we had collectively agreed on a number of spaces! Sadly it seems split fairly evenly between 2 and 4 so we don't even get consistency.
Consistency within a project.
I mean, you can use tabs consistently within a project. The only thing I'm aware of that actually bans tabs is YAML and... well, you can go a long way by always doing the opposite of what YAML does.
