I say any editor worth a damn ought to let you define how big you want your tabs to be, and I typically like to throw a comment at the top of my source noting my tab details (tab = 4, etc for anyone else that may have to have a look at it) I think my workflow is a little more comfortable with tabs than with spaces... It seems as such anyways. :)
