I will never use a language that requires tabs. Tabs are absolutely the scourge of programming. They are completely foreign to any rational layouts. They are so 60's. Python sucks so bad it's pathetic. Php has warts true. But it can be used to get the job done. If Python ever gets curly braces I'll use it but not as long as it remains in the distant past using an arcaic typewriter structure.<br>

Think anyone knows I don't like tabs. ;)<br>
