Yeah, probably. I'm not so comfortable with all the whitespace in Python, but the thought of having to tap space 4x constantly while writing code is so hugely off-putting to me as an idea. I'd rather just continue pressing tab a single time, all the time, until the day I die.

[sdrothrock → iamsanteri]

I don't think anyone taps space four times; they just set tab to insert four spaces. So from a typing perspective, there's no difference.

It's a pretty standard setting in every editor I've used, including vim.

Every single editor has some equivalent to `expandtab`, so you just use that instead of pressing space x times.

Do you have to press tab 3 times if you're inside blocks?

Do you use notepad.exe or something more ancient like edline?
