    mashing space 16 times

    bro hasnt heard of an IDE before.

    most will convert tab to space, or can be configured to. vim just has one command that can be put in vimrc

    i agree with the web being overused for a lot of things, but if it were simply html/css (less js) it would be better

      Of course I have, where did I say that I use spaces? I was making a comment based off of observations of web developers over the years and surprisingly a lot of them will mash the space bar all day. I shit you not. But go ahead and project that onto me for some reason?

          I would say my observations were between 2006-2010 and this was at UC Berkeley. Again, I shit you not.

          Extra tid bit: during the same time I watched a EECS student rage while using vim. I then watched them code Java in nano for the rest of the day…
