65 because I have vim configured to use spaces instead of tabs because the style requirements for the Java 1 class I took last year included "OMG don't use tabs ever, use spaces instead", and I never got around to changing it back.
Worth noting that Eclipse uses tabs, not spaces, and I never got called out on that in Java 2 (in which everyone had to use Eclipse).

67 I don't really notice it when I'm programming because vim nicely keeps track of indentation for me, at least in C-like languages (i.e. that use curly braces to mark off blocks of code and have semicolons at the end of each line). I never actually have to backspace over multiple spaces, so using tabs instead would't really save me any time.
69 And I've also just gotten used to there being spaces there. Scrolling through a tab-indented file is... jarring, since vim puts the cursor at the rightmost end of multispace characters, at least in command mode... which means that as I scroll down the leftmost column of a file where some lines start with tabs and some don't, the cursor jumps left and right in an annoying fashion.
70 well, the text editor I use places faint(?) symbols for otherwise invisible ones like spaces, tabs and newlines. I do this to make js in certain cases easier to debug but it does mean a file that uses spaces instead of tabs look kind of annoying
70 Yeah, I could see how space-indentation in my code could bug you, Lens... especially when vim's auto-indentation doesn't exactly handle Javascript correctly.
Whenever a line ends without a semicolon, vim, thinking I'm using Java or C, thinks that the next line is a continuation of the previous line, and indents it again.
That took me a bit to figure out.

69 @duckfan It only added one layer of indent on each line in each code block after the first line, so it wasn't too bad. Whenever it hit a curly brace, it would indent normally.
