Is anyone still using such devices to program Python?

Such as? I use OS X, Windows and Linux daily, and tabs work just
fine on all of those. Which OS is it that is aberrant, and how
exactly does it pose a problem?

Again, specifics would be welcome. I've been using tabs for
indentation for over a decade, and have not once run into the horror
stories that everyone who hates tabs says will happen, but who never
give specifics as to how they cause "problems".
If you want to use spaces, great. I'm certainly not going to
make up reasons why spaces are bad, just to make me feel better about
my preference. Just don't make general damning comments without any
specifics to back them up.
