This is a holy war that I will gladly fight again and again! I can't believe that soft tabs are more popular, especially in python!

That is because they are superior.
spatium vult.

Tabs work fine, you aren't allowed to mix, indentation must be consistent.

Actually I think you can technically mix. They have a "conversion factor". But don't, because then the code will look like crap on any other tab size (defeating the point of using tabs in the first place)
I think it would be better that each line needs to start with the exact same bytes to be considered within the same indent level. But I don't think that is the decision Guido made.
