Someone else in the thread posted this link to an old Reddit thread, which I remember reading a while back, which I also think really throws a wrench in the "spaces" standard: being able to set tab sizes is important for accessibility, for people with visual impairments, and people with differently sized displays.

With spaces, 2 might seem large for one person while 8 might seem small, and you're not giving them the option to quickly convert it. This isn't just an aesthetic choice, it's a functional one, which can vary from basic comfort when reading to being able to work around a serious physical or technical issue.

Also, honestly, y'all seriously do not understand how much smoother the workflow of tabs can be than spaces. Tabs people have no idea how you put up with it.
