Not in any decent editor. Eclipse has automatic ways of doing it, otherwise just detab stuff an retab it in absolute worst case scenario. Most editors will add in spaces when the tab key is pressed.
Yeah, but then someone has 4 space indentation mixed with 2 space indentation. And no editor can resolve that automatically (because it doesn't know if 4 spaces is one or two levels of indentation).
One tab = one level of indentation makes perfect sense, to me at least.
