In the GNU world, yes. emacs is the GNU standard programming editor.
In *my* real world, I use only spaces in my documents. It's not a
standard, but it doesn't break the standard, either.
emacs vs. other editors (mostly vim in the Linux world) is a topic that
tends to start flame wars, so I generally stay away from this topic.
After erroneously stating that we shouldn't have tabs in source files,
I decided to just set my editor so it would work OK, and that's the
way I've resolved it.
Thanks,
Carl
