Spaces, not tabs about obsidian-sample-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

I like tabs. If using tabs is questionable then there wouldn't be an option for anyway.

Most people just follow whatever standards a project already uses, and .editorconfig serves exactly that purpose so that tools like IDEs can automatically follow whatever the project uses.

github.com never display arrows for tabs:

You're right, it's not that github.com that added arrows. It's my https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github extension.

Fair enough about your preference. Just be aware that this is not a popular choice for JavaScript/TypeScript: https://ukupat.github.io/tabs-or-spaces/

Hey, 16.78% is a good enough size (plus that's a really low sample size). Either way, this isn't a popularity contest and in the vast majority of the cases this choice doesn't really matter.

Ok, if you want a larger sample size: https://hoffa.medium.com/400-000-github-repositories-1-billion-files-14-terabytes-of-code-spaces-or-tabs-7cfe0b5dd7fd#.o7n8zeezx

Yeah, it's not a popularity contest as much as it is a question of Developer Experience and whether you care about catering to most of your "customers" or just your personal preference. (Some in fact may call it a career/financial consideration lol. J/k)

Anyway, I know that I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know. I'm giving voice to those who may be just as annoyed as I am to see so much Obsidian plugin source code with tabs. Not a big population, I admit. But something had to be said lol

One could also argue that Tabs is best used in this kind of templates because it gives everyone a visual choice of whether to use 2 spaces for each tab or 4 spaces for each tab, without constantly converting the source code itself between the two.

Either way, this is likely one of the top unsolved problems in the computing world along with Windows vs Mac vs Linux.

(Some in fact may call it a career/financial consideration lol. J/k)

In that case, we should probably make plugins in Closure instead.
