There is no winner, both tabs snd spaces are widely used. However with proliferation of better tools the question thankfully became mostly irrelevant. I don't care if it is spaces or tabs, as long as it is consistent across codebase (which CI enforces with autoformatters and linters) and as long as my editor (which obeys project's editorconfig) uses the same convention.

As a savage, I use 4 tabs now.

I hit space 4 times...

...which is clear evidence that hitting space 4 times is the wrong thing to do :P
