[wp-hackers] Please, please PLEASE use tabs instead of spaces!

Spaces look more uniform though, while tabs are often set differently
on different editors. Also, occasionally when changing the
reindentation - you'd have to go back and add spaces anyways - since
tabs are set at a certain distance.

The php parser ignores spaces anyways, so it really isn't that big of a deal.
