I used to think that way, until the following links gave me second thoughts:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/TabsvsSpaces
http://www.jwz.org/doc/tabs-vs-spaces.html

Specifically, the "tabs are for indentation, spaces for alignment"
thing does actually make sense in Lisp-like code (even
though,generally speaking yeah, tabs must die). Just out of curiosity,
does this motto of yours extend to Scheme? We currently have tabs in
some .scm files but not all, not to mention Schemey .ly files...
