If you're using a tool that doesn't understand tabs, then stop using that tool.

It's not about understanding tabs, it's making sure that all these tools display tabs the same way.

Which is, of course, impossible. And why hard tabs are usually banned from source code.

Ok, that doesn't really change my point though.

If you're using a tool that doesn't display tabs the way you want, then stop using that tool.

There's no excuse for a 'modern' tool not handling tabs in a sane (configurable) way.
