@SuperDicq @fiore @reia It is ugly and inconsistent which leads to more brain processing needed to parse something as simple as indentation. The half-indentation also fucks with my brain way too much since I like 1 tab/8 spaces for indentation.

Like look at this monstrosity

#include <stdio.h>

int
main (void)
{
	int i = 1;

	if (i == 1)
	    {
	        printf ("Hello world!\n");
		return 0;
	    }
	else if (i != 1)
	    {
	        printf ("unreachable\n");
		return 1;
	    }
}

1 tab/8 spaces

I think you're the weirdo here.

@SuperDicq @fiore @reia Default vim config, fight me.

@phnt @fiore @reia @SuperDicq emacs with evil is the best vim.

@newt @fiore @reia @SuperDicq Imagine needing to emulate another editor to perfect your own editor. The state of emacs.

@phnt@fluffytail.org @newt@stereophonic.space @fiore@brain.worm.pink @reia@linfan.moe Emacs is a lisp interpreter that has a text editor built into it.

emacs has no text editor, tho with enough lisping some emac users have managed to cobble vim emulation as a feature of the emacs operating system.

@phnt@fluffytail.org @fiore@brain.worm.pink @reia@linfan.moe A tab should be four spaces. Default vim config is just simply wrong.

@SuperDicq @fiore @reia tab = 8 spaces has been the standard after typewriters became obsolete and is standard in UNIX since BSD KNF which is documented K&R. GNU Emacs tab width default is also 8.

@SuperDicq @phnt @reia have you SEEN it .

@fiore@brain.worm.pink @phnt@fluffytail.org @reia@linfan.moe I was asking if it is objectively bad and your reaction is to respond in the most subjective manner possible. And of course I have seen GNU code before.

@SuperDicq @phnt @reia its bad because half tabs are not a thing so if u do gnu style u have to use spaces .

@fiore @phnt @reia @SuperDicq GNU style is readability equivalent of putting more than one space between words, punctuation, etc.
