One of my pet peeves with other editors (including the ones that come with
MSVC++ and MPLAB, which is one reason I don't use them) is that you can't
set the tab stops for real.  They assume you want tab stops at regular
intervals, which is really stupid.  For example, for PIC source editing I
set my tabs (in a real editor) to 10 (opcode), 18 (start of operands), 30
(start of comments), and all columns thereafter (in case operands end after
column 30).

And of course the editor must substitute spaces, not embed TAB characters in
the source code.
