Good. Spaces and tabs for indentation should never be mixed in any language other than Whitespace.

Some people use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment. It kind of gets the pros of tabs (user configurable indent-width) and the pros of spaces (alignment). That doesn't work in Python where you can't align stuff and the interpreter doesn't allow mixing tabs with spaces, but in other languages it is a possible style.

There are no pros to tabs. Configure tabs to a number of spaces.

Raw adjust with tabs, fine adjust with spaces.

Don't laugh, people are actually doing that.
