Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be

…except when they don't. Many common environments have a hardcoded tab size of 8, which is insanely big for using it for indentation.

Because other people might have restricted environment which might not suit their preference is not a good reason to level it down IMO.

Also, I think 9 is the best size for indent (matter of preference), do you think I should switch to space so everyone can enjoy this wonderful view I have ?

Why would you ever need 9 other than trolling people on the internet?

Straight on point!
