Unless the project you're working on has an Editorconfig file and your IDE supports it (VS and IntelliJ do by default).

In this case it is supposed to override your IDE settings.

But that just contributes to the gap, the kind of place that devotes time to things like shared editor configs is the kind of place with enough money (and interest) to contribute to development quality, and places like that probably pay more.

The average "sweatshop/devshop" developer probably doesn't even know/care about tabs vs spaces.
