Haven't we all been through this argument several months ago? I believe the conclusion was "people have different preferences, and Haskell allows for that".
Sure, but that's a separate issue. My remark was merely in response to the claim that Haskell cares whether you put tabs or spaces in your files. It does not, so long as the tabs are of length 8. If your editor produces tabs of a different size, that's a problem with your editor or the way you dislike Haskell's layout rules. Or, to look at it another way, there are better reasons to dislike Haskell's layout rules than this. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
