Well, no. People and/or editors who used one tab per indentation
level (and probably fiddling with the displayed *tab* width other
than 8 spaces) where confused.
Whenever I see any file that needs a tab width other than 8 spaces
to display correctly (be it programs, be it configuration files),
I get *very* upset.
That said, as people today don't know the difference between tab
width and indentation, it's still good to forbid tabs at all in
lilypond ;-)
Ciao,

ps: when I started working on unix (in the late 80ths), I abused
tabs for indentation, too. But it took me only a few months to
recognize that error.
