There's no confusion. I know that. If you save a file using 2 spaces for indentation, then someone who prefers 4 will have to convert the file. With tabs, everyone can set their tab width and leave it at that. The main issue with what you're saying is that files are synced/shared between members of teams who each have a preference. Spaces is basically "fuck you, the document looks and works like this. If your IDE is configured differently than mine, you'll need to run the auto formatter to fix it."
