Nah, I'll keep on sticking with spaces or whatever the language's formatter uses. Ain't no way am I mixing tabs and spaces, will just stick with spaces.
I used to be a tabs guy, somepoint over time, especially when I realized some of the edge cases I have in formatting only remain consistent when using spaces, I switched.
Looks like you missed the point. This is about indentation, not formatting.
Use tabs to indent your lines, but if you want to align a parameter with the parenthesis on the line above or something like that, you add spaces after the indentation tabs.
That way if someone wants to they can configure their tab length to 20 spaces and the indentation will remain consistent and the code will remain aligned.
My point was that it's pretty much impossible to indent with tabs in lisp. It'll be harder to read and scan for everyone else who has a different tab with. How you indent and what you want to indent to is very different compared to a c-style language.
