Should we use spaces or tabs?

Spaces VS tabs is a major point of contention in the programming community, and the only way to solve the problem is to disallow the use of one of them; otherwise, we will have two tools which perform the same function in our programming terminology. Under this logic, we can make an easy decision: we can't remove the space character, because we need that for spacing. Ergo, the only option we really have is to outlaw the tab.

No tabs, especially since there is no tab button in sb.

this would be an okay satire thread if you didn't refer to indentation as "tabbing" that one time

any decent language allows you to write code without using any spaces we should remove all the invisible characters just to be safe

Yes, but the nature of tabs is far less necessary and/or useful than the nature of spaces. For example, strings.
