Yes you're right! No debate. Tabs are just better ;-)

Why not use tabs that natively respect user preferences?

Have you ever contributed to a large open source project such as a CMS?
With hundreds of contributors, you need code standards and clarity for a good contributing ecosystem.

I think this point is out of context. Using spaces or tabs has no side effects on understandability, while limiting variables and names to 3 characters or less, as you suggested, is really extreme. The main goal of code is readability, structure, and accessibility. Using less disk space is just a bonus, although important!
