They change depending on your editor settings. Indenting gets screwed up if 
tabs and spaces are mixed. It's just plain annoying to have an indentation of 
multiple spaces which isn't actually multiple spaces.

The biggest problem though is that it just totally screws with indentation if 
tabs and spaces are mixed and that invariably happens.

Tabs serve no useful purpose IMHO.
