Proposal: Can we standardize the codebase to use tabs instead of spaces?

[HanzCEO]

Good morning, I'm back,

I have seen many inconsistencies within our code base (especially the page/ directory) and I want to propose a solution. Can we standardize the tab size to be equivalent as 4 spaces?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Regards,
Hanz

https://editorconfig.org/ can be a good option for this, e.g.:

root = true

[*]
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true
charset = utf-8
indent_style = tab
trim_trailing_whitespace = true

...

Regarding the ancient tabs vs spaces debate, I recommend reading this: https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/c8drjo/nobody_talks_about_the_real_reason_to_use_tabs/

Thank you for the insights. I might not form my sentence properly, but I usually use tabs instead of spaces. I just thought that everyone contributing here use spaces, so I try to conform to the culture.

tabs vs spaces is always an IT question ^^
Instead of fighting between spaces or tabs I think it can be useful to add a linter, what do u think? :)
