There's also the fact that no one seems to have tab stops set the same way.

That's a feature, not a bug.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a feature when the viewer controls the number of spaces per tab, it's a bug when someone else does (as is often the case online via css `tab-size`).

You want source code indentation to be random on different machines? I guess. That would make me crazy.

Yes. That is the point.

I can have my tabs look the way I like them. You can have your tabs look the way you like them.

It’s not “random”, it’s whatever you’ve configured it to on your machine. Your choice of (e.g.) 3 spaces per tab shouldn’t be forced onto me if I prefer (e.g.) 4 spaces per tab. As long as you’re on your machine, you’ll see exactly the amount of code indentation you prefer - not something “random”. On someone else’s machine, well, that’s up to their preference, and it’s hard to complain about how someone else has their machine setup.

TL;DR: This is a feature, not a bug
