If prefer two spaces per indention instead of tabs, but otherwise I agree with the choice of style.
Tabs has no place in code, just recently I started a project with four space indentation, that quickly got changed to two.
Change your tab width, but tabs are literally made for indentation.
The reason I loathe tabs is that over time a codebase with tabs becomes mixed tabs and spaces and unless your editor shows tabs you can't see them.
In the end you have to choose either spaces or tabs, and enforce it with some lint tool.
That last line is the solution though, choose a linter, enforce all style arguments, so they are just the way the code is. No arguments.
Every single project I work on is setup with prettier. With Java there is a maven plugin that runs it on compile. And with ts projects it is part of the built pipeline.
I wish I could use prettier for Abap, reminds me how much I like having an opinionated formatter. I don’t like wasting time formatting code manually.
Abap has one formatter that is not very opinionated, and lets way more to much wierd spacing through, especially for a language that is as verbose as abap.
I love compromises, so I use 3 spaces for indentation.
Some people just want to see the world burn 😁
It's warm and bright when everything burns.
