Yes, but the point is to use tabs for _indentation_, not for anything else.
For indentation it does not matter.  If you use tabs to create columns (i.e.
when commenting), you of course run into trouble.  But for pure identation
that starts at the beginning of a line tabs work just fine.  Plus they parse
a tiny bit faster ;-)
