I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
No one (that I've ever met) actually uses the SPACE bar to do indentation. Every single time I've watched another developer code, they always use the TAB key
I never use the tab key for anything other than navigation. The web has broken the use of tab for indentation (like here if I'm typing in a box and want to tab, I'll move to the next available input field instead).
I let my editor do the indentation for me, and if I need to re-indent, I use a command for that too.

I kinda figured that someone would chime in to refute me on this. 😁 And that's totally cool.
But I assume you would agree with me that you are quite an outlier in that regard??
I might be, but I'm not sure - because of the web navigation issue I mentioned :)
