Umm, you do realize no one manually enters all of the spaces, right? Basically all editors support an expandtab feature which inserts the amount of spaces you want whenever you hit the tab key.

Code formatters behave exactly the same regardless if you're using tabs or spaces, so not sure what you're talking about.

I did not miss the point. I fully understand that's why people want tabs. I just think it's a pretty stupid and petty reason to make for a worse experience when viewing code in places you don't control. I still don't know why using spaces is an issue when we enforce standards in literally every other facet of contributing to a codebase. We enforce coding styles. Indentation is part of the coding style.
