Tabs are better for indentation preferences. Spaces ensure that everyone sees the same thing, which can help in multi-line situations.
So I wish people would avoid this black-and-white discussion. Use tabs for indentation, and spaces for multi-line alignment...

"Use tabs for indentation, and spaces for multi-line alignment..."
^ totally "black-and-white" solution
:-D
I think the real problem with tabs is that so many people use weak editors.
--def myfunc(
---foobar = 1,
---...baz = 2
--)
No matter what size tab stops you use, the `=` will always line up vertically, because the tabs are only used for the indentation (nesting level), not the visual alignment.
