  100 % the same. Regradless of any viewer or editor used.

But the same is not true with text that uses tabs (because you
really can't know what options the editor is preset / user set /
regarding the treatment of tabs).

The score is 1 - 0 for "all spaces" in this contest.
How about this - I like tabs because when you removing it you
need to hit Backspace just once and don't have to strain your
eyes figuring out "Did I delete enough? Does it line up now?"
